Limits:

Rudman Regulators are designed to handle about 2 amps of finish charging current, alone, without any modifications. They should strobe merrily along with about 1.75 amps of continuous overcharge current. They will survive 2 amps for about 5 min. During bypass operations, while the LED is on, the Rudman Regulators are dissipating 30 watts of heat. If you have a charger that can't be set to regulate to these specifications, or you are using a 3rd-world non-regulated charger, you can easily harm or damage your Rudman Regulators. There is a very easy work around. I have provided an "External Load" port so that you can add larger power resistors and load banks. Each Rudman Regulator will pass about 30 amps of 15 volts, if you have a suitable external load connected. This is a absurd amount of over charge current, but the Regs will survive if you wish to use them to regulate your charger. I designed these Rudman Regulators for use in racing applications and in very severe conditions of testing equipment and systems. High beam head lights work great on about a 8 amp over charge. 300 watt landing lights work OK also...for those who can't throttle back a 20 amp charger. Simple turn signal GE1157 or 56s will work just fine for that added little extra bypass current.

Rudman Regulators are intended to be used across a standard 12 lead acid battery, but they can be used across any 12 volt block of batteries. 2 6 volt batteries in series. Or multiple 12 volt batteries in parallel. Just make sure that there is only 12 nominal at any time connected to a regulator.
