New voltage regulator wiring

[rrlund]

Old regulator has four wires, four posts. Posts labeled Bat-Gen-Field and "L". New regulator has three posts, Bat-Gen-Field. What do I do with the L wire? I assume I have to double it up on one of the posts, but which one?

L .... lights. You can wire it to Bat if using a switch. Inline fuse to tast.

OK. I figured it had to go on a post with one of the other wires, just had to make sure which. Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.

The purpose of the L terminal was to feed the higher amperage needs if the tractor aka lights seperate from the battery charging loads and possibly affecting charging. As Eric said you can add that wire to the batt terminal and will never know the difference.

The four terminal VRs with the extra L terminal was meant for LOADS like lights and ignition etc., so hook it to the BAT terminal on the VR.
