Rover 9/20 overcharging
Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2020 9:58 am
Posted on behalf of of a new owner.
I now have my fathers Rover (1925 9/20) in a garage where it can be worked on and hopefully
brought back to sufficient life for it to be useable on the roads.
The car has been stored for around 3 years and in that time the 6 v
battery plates have distorted causing the outside housing to crack. I
presume this is just the passage of time and neglect. I was wondering
if you could assist me by pointing me in the direction of someone who
is knowledgeable on the electrics? It has had a full re-wire.
I'm not sure where to get a battery from and what specification/output.
It's a 6 volt system as I'm sure you are aware.
My Dad also thinks it was over charging and refers to a cut off behind
the dashboard? His memory is a bit hazy so apologies but again if
there is a club member who might help it would be appreciated
