AS above. Is 10 volts enough to keep a lawn mower battery charged ?? Getting about 10 V at the battery terminals. No battery installed. Started from the starter motor with a jump pack. Thanks........Jay

Please post the model, type and code numbers for your Briggs engine. If your engine has a voltage regulator, you must have a battery installed for proper testing of the charging system. With numbers I should be able to find you a step by step procedure for testing. I never test any charging system without a fully charged battery. Takes the guess work out of the readings.

The battery is going bad, charged up to 11.72 V and with engine running 12.31 V across the battery terminals. Any help will be appreciated..................Jay
