The regulators that I bought in the last 2 years were similar to the orignals.

Can you tell me what brands you have bought? Also, have you opened them up. The exterior looks exact but inside lies a potted circuit board.

I don't recall the brand. They came from Mac's, I believe. The interior is a match to the old versions.

L7806 is the part number for an electronic voltage regulator. They're very inexpesnive - buy a handful!

The L7806 is rated for 1 or 1.5 amps only. The regulators being discussed in this thread handle around 30 amps.

My apologies - I was on my phone and assumed (we know what happens when you do that) that we were talking about the VRs for the gauges, not the charging system. Doh!
