Steve -

What size battery cables do you have?  How long are they (battery to Alternator & battery to DC busses)? A crimp anywhere in the system when exposed to heat and very cold temps we can get in the winter may be the culprit. Corrosion in the big terminals may be a problem. Ground straps can get frayed or corroded.

What regulator do you have? Internal to alternator or external? Our B&C regulators have a built-in over voltage circuit that has a specific test to determine if it is working - at that particular moment.

I'm sending you, in another email, a test paper that Bob Nuckolls wrote on how to check out the alternator/regulator/battery system. It may help. We installed a jack for each alternator to make this test easier.

I  don't mean to be preachy - just some ideas for what must be a very frustrating problem for you. Hope this helps.

The other battery was fine, and I just bought a brand new B&C but
still have the same problem.
