This voltage regulator can overcharge the batteries and could lead to "thermal runaway. Often these higher voltages are seen in applications such as LCD bias control, DC bias adjustments of power amplifiers, gain and offset trim of amplifiers, laser diode bias control and voltage regulator output control. Electrical power for the boat and for battery charging is provided by an engine-driven, automobile-type alternator, controlled by a voltage regulator built into the alternator's case. |
