Re: Stus-List Interesting electrical problem

Last year the voltage regulator on the alternator died, apparently  causing a voltage spike. Fried two new batteries and my instrument cluster, radio survived.  My usual practice was to charge both batteries at the same time when engine is running. When under sail run the electronics off one

Re: Stus-List Interesting electrical problem

Ian, I'm perplexed. Can't offer any solution, just a story. I was driving my 1993 Nissan Pathfinder on the Interstate when the entire truck shut down and the cabin filled with smoke. I mean the entire electrical system died. No electrical of any kind. Managed to get to the side of the road

Re: Stus-List Interesting electrical problem

I lost chart plotter, knot meter, vhf radio and music radio a few years back due to lightning strike. Boat was on the mooring with no switches on. I opened the vhf days later and could smell burnt plastic. Also my masthead vhf antenna got cooked. On Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 4:26 PM Ian Matthew via

Re: Stus-List Interesting electrical problem

Hi, I'd check the battery and alternator connections carefully. And the main switches, too. If the batteries get disconnected while the motor is on, the alternator will create a load dump that can be even over 100V for a fraction of a second. In principle, automotive and marine electronics should

Re: Stus-List Interesting electrical problem

Personally I usually find that strange electrical problems especially on boats are grounding problems. Yours sounds very peculiar though. From an isolating batteries point of view i would consider adding a Victron battery isolator. That would get your house and start batteries apart if the problem

Hi, I am soliciting help from this incredibly wise forum. I thought at first this was a random problem, but now it has happened twice, I am not sure. I have had a 'surge' blow my electronics, AM/FM radio and my navigation lights twice in 2 years. I can't afford to replace my electronics again
