<p>I am suddenly having trouble with the Jabiru Charging system keeping up with the vary low electrical load in my CH750 STOL. Last week we finished 2.5 hours of flying with stops and engine starts at 5 airports. After fueling up at our home base at the end of the trip the starter struggled a bit to turn the engine over. The voltage on the battery was below 12 volts. I charged the battery with an external charger and then performed a load test on the battery. The battery check out as being in great health which is to be expected with only 70 hours on the aircraft. </p>
<p>1. Any thoughts or experiences from the rest of the Jabiru operators?</p>
<p>2. Does anyone else have the factory installed circuit breaker on one of the leads coming from the alternator?</p>
<p>3. Does the alternator output below seem normal?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Below is a graph of the voltage from the last flight of the day.</p>
