		   I just read your post where you are going to tie the C lead to the

 battery.  Be aware that the C lead not only is used to sense the

 battery voltage but also powers the electronics in the regulator.  If

 you have the C lead permanently connected to the battery, when the

 engine isn't running, it will  slowly discharge the battery.


	


Correct. If you want to do it this way, you need a double pole switch,

and use one pole to switch the C-lead to the battery.

In our Europa's I think it is not worth the trouble, as the cable from

the regulator to the battery is very short, and the losses are neglible.

Especially if you connect the electrical bus for the rest of the ship to

the regulator side of the cable.
