[QUOTE="Kier, post: 429602, member: 13279"] I have a 1985 Mercury 50HP and it charges the battery when it runs. Unlike the newer motors it does not have a regulator. So it sends a charge to the battery even though the battery is fully charged. At full throttle the motor produces ~6amps of charging. The newer motors have a regulator that stops charging the battery when it is fully charged and turns the extra charge into heat. It is possible to buy a regulator for these older engines but I am trying to avoid it if possible. [/QUOTE]
