Title: WTB Diode board for my T3
Post by: Perazzimx14 on April 07, 2015, 01:35:06 PM: Having a charging issue on the T3 and am pretty sure its a bad diode board so I am in the hunt for another. If you have a good one let me know how much shipped to PA 17202.

Thanks

Eliminates the regulator and diode board, works great and less connections to corrode.

Joe, so this piece does the job, of the stock diode board, and regulator on my Cal II? Sounds much simpler, I wish I would have known before I upgraded my bike to the EME diode board $59.00, and adjustable voltage regulator $25.00 for just a few bucks more, this would have done the function of both!
oh well, at least the bike is charging good now.

I wonder why it wont work with an odyssey battery?

Rick.

Something I found amusing. Last time I bought one they were about fifteen bux. Worked better than the horrid Bosch units too.

Hmmmmm.. what up with that?

The old stock regulator seems to work with the odyssey just fine so can't think of what the difference would be using the solid state unit?
