As the battery is charged full, the regulator reduces the output. Try putting some load on the battery or (discharge ) and see if the voltage goes up. That will indicate that your regulator works fine.

John,

The picture on the photo from the manual is correc= t.  There's no doubt about it.  As for voltage, attached is a phot= o from one of my early runs.

John, the charging voltage does not remain constant. As the battery is c= harged full, the regulator reduces the output.
Try putting some load on the battery or (discharge ) and see if the voltage= goes up. That will indicate that your regulator works fine.
