[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 108356, member: 2708"] Oexing wrote "I´d rather believe the Podtronic went over the Jordan and only then the battery was cooked with overvoltage." I have three of these Podtronics regs mounted, so I would rather believe it was the battery that did everything in. I bought 2 of these Ballistic batteries. They were expensive but the claim was that they would last ten years. Both were dead in 18 months. A Google search for " Ballistic Battery problems" yields hours of reading. Maybe that's why the company shut down last year. A search for Podtronics problems doesn't provide much reading at all. From what I have seen of the Podtronics units, they are very dependable. I believe Alton now supply Podtronics regulators with their Alternator kits. Years ago they supplied another Chinese built reg that looked just like the Podtronics, but had different internals and was not so reliable. Paul Hamon( Alton) wrote an article about this, I'll see if I can find it. Glen [/QUOTE]
