I have a Kitfox 3 with a 582 Rotax. I was flying the other eveing and lost all electrical power. I landed and the battery was dead. I replaced the battery (only 3 mos old) with a new one. With the new batterey I was generating 12.6 volts with the engine off or on. This would indicate a regular problem wouldn't it?

I ordered a new Key West Regulator (3 Phase) and installed it. I am not sure the new regulator is working. I hooked up the Ohm meter when the engine is running and I am gettingf 26.5 volts!!! Shouldn't I only be getting about 13.5 to 14 volts?

I have some other questions and could use an electrical expert ... I am not familar with elctrcial and the correct volts.
