Sounds like a bad Pod which needs replacing no matter the cause.


According to Alton, the alternator has a max 150 watts output with an average of 90 to 95 watts at normal cruising speed.


So, say 33v @ 3k = ~90w @ 2.72a. Doesn't seem right to me and the v output of the Alton seems high. The Pod is designed to short out your alternator coils when the battery charge target voltage of 14.2 is met, so losing 19v would not be happy for it to do. The Pod is rated anywhere from 12-20a depending on model.

EDIT: The voltage output may be high due to no battery connected and therefore drawing no load to the rest of the system (ignition, etc) while running? I am only a electricky novice, so someone else would have to offer better commentary.
