Hello,

I have recently noticed that when I start the engine my charge
indicator light stays on until i rev/ idle up the engine a little. My
belts are tight and the alternator is generating voltage, so what the
heck do you guys think the problem could be, or is this normal due to
the fact that I always keep the batteries topped off. Is it possible
that The voltage regulator is sensing the topped off batteries and
dropping the alternator out of the circuit until a load/ demand is
sensed???K.L.Magee #2930 "Emma Gail"

Yhis is normal. Many diesel engines when started at idle speed are not
reving fast enough to start charging. Colin V-703...
