T TerryWighs Well Known Member Jan 30, 2014 #1 Any problems with using a A/C to D/C 12v converter for a power source to test lights/circuits, rather than battery? Whats the 14 volt concept all about?

R rapid_ascent Well Known Member Jan 31, 2014 #4 The 14V reference comes from the alternator output voltage which as Brian said must be higher than the battery voltage to charge the battery. Ray
