Hello; Since I bought my Airhead, the voltmeter reads 16 volts most any time the engine is running. Lights on or off, doesn't matter sixteen volts.

I bought a new diode board, installed with advice from this forum.

I bought a new voltage regulater, the new style, it made no difference at all, cost a lot of money though.

I tested my dash voltmeter with a digital VOM and it is accurate.

When I ressurected the battery this spring, I had to add about half the water, seems to be okay now.

How can I fix this? Surely this isn't the way they intended.
