Hi

Just bought our first used lawn mower and quick realized that it was not charging the battery.. diode on stator assembly was fried.

We just had the stator 1208503-s replaced on now its charging.. charging to much 15.8 volt when we shut it down..

Now I'm looking for a voltage regulator but appears this version don't have one.?

Any good suggestions or just use it and don't look at multi meter.

You try putting a second diode in series with the first one. This should drop the output by 0.7 volt which closer to 14.8vdc. Also note some system allows unregulated voltage up to 16 vdc when battery is connected to the system.

Thank you very much for your input.. I tried to run it for a longer periode knowing this potentially was the case and it does charge between 14 -16 volt when mowing.. that being said I think it's a horrible system and not sure how much that impacts battery life etc..

Instead if adding a diode is it possible to add a voltage regulator and if so any suggestions on model and how to wire it.

We just bought mower so don't have much experience with it you

Thanks in advance

Then it is safe to leave it as is. These systems work fine for most setups. But a Briggs 790292 regulator can be installed but that will cost at least $50 more. The yellow wire (voltage regulator) connects to the diode (Black wire) and red wire connects to the battery side. The Yellow wire from the Stator is for lighting and is an AC circuit. On the regulator diagram below would be the black wire (ei jumper wire). Connector would have to be removed and the regulator hard wired in place. Also the regulator case would need to be ground to the engine by either bolting it on or by a separator jumper wire.
