Decrease engine speed to 1000 rpm with headlights on. Regulated battery voltage should remain at 28.0 ± 0.2 Vdc. If battery voltage drops below 27.5 Vdc, do not repair 25 amp charging system. Replace with 60 amp alternator conversion kit 11647745 (para. 4-3). b. e. f. g. Increase engine speed to 2000 rpm with headlights on. Regulated voltage should remain at 28.0 ± 0.2 Vdc. If battery voltage increases above 28.5 Vdc, replace 25 amp charging system with 60 amp alternator conversion kit 11647745 (para. 4-3). Return engine speed to 1200 rpm. Turn headlights OFF and ON and observe change in battery voltage. If battery voltage changes more than ± 0.5 Vdc and does not return quickly to 28.0 ± 0.2 Vdc, replace 25 amp charging system with 60 amp alternator conversion kit 11647745 (para. 4-3).
