A voltage regulator controls the output voltage of the charging system. It is designed to give the battery and electrical components a steady charge rather than too much or too little.

  • Quality control: As a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products, Standard keeps quality control in-house from componentry through to the finished product.
  • Epoxy-encapsulated PC board: Standard encapsulates its electronic voltage regulator PC boards in epoxy. This is intended to improve performance and resist failures that vibration and corroded electrical connections can cause.
  • Premium components: Premium components and Standard's own manufactured circuit board are designed for precise operation, reliability, and extra durability.
  • High-grade materials: Standard builds its starting and charging system products with high-grade materials intended for extended service life.

A voltage regulator may need replacing if you see any of these signs:

  • a battery that won't stay charged
  • dim or flickering lights
  • a lit charging warning light
  • signs of overcharging

These symptoms can also come from the alternator, the battery, or the wiring, so test the charging system before replacing parts.
