(Check the thread on how Martin measured the current) Martin, Since you rightly concluded it's intermittent, let's do a quick thought experiment: Assuming the battery hasn't blown a cell, and the terminals all around are clean(ish), then about the only thing that can "quietly" fail intermittently is the voltage regulator. (Internal to the alternator, I think.) Heat related? Not conclusive, but hope it helps. Ben
