Something to think about when recycling the Alternator Switch after the low voltage light has been on for a while you will be putting the full alternator output into the battery

Yes it should be done as soon as you spot it but I seem to remember the lights are way over on the right hand side of the panel. The whole thing about recycling CBs in the air (and therefore Alternators too) was reassesed several years ago and it goes like this.
When something trips it trips for a reason, do you want to discover that reason in the air or on the ground?

If your battery gets warm to the touch at normal ambient temperatures, you need to check that the voltage in the system is below 14.4 for a "12 v" system (14.2 across the battery terminals) This also applies to gel and "leakproof " (varley?)fibreglass-packed cells.
