Default Bob - a charging system question??

Bob - my car still hasn't produced a charge in the times I've run it. But, I haven't had it out on the road yet. In a previous thread from last spring you suggested wiring in parallel to the red light, a ~20 ohm resister.

What capacity do I need for that resister? The best I could do at Radio Shack was a 22 ohm/.5 watt resister. Anything at 1 watt or bigger and I was getting into a ceramic housed resister like a ballast resister. I'm not sure how much current I should consider this parallel circuit to run. A 1/2 watt resister could only carry mili-amps - I haven't figured it out (volt x amps = watts)

As an edit I will come back and post the earlier thread on this.

Check out of charging system

Bob - I'm referring to post #39 in the above.


Thanks in advance

Dan
