The crew of the sailboat Atlas struggles with recurring electrical failures while anchored in Tauranga, New Zealand. After replacing the alternator, the charging system still failed to function.4:30 Consultation with Balmar technical support revealed that a previous voltage spike had destroyed both the alternator and the external voltage regulator.5:46 Replacing the burnt-out resistor in the external regulator restored the charging system, which successfully delivered 60 to 70 amps to the battery bank during sea trials.12:14 Despite the repair, the crew remains weather-bound in Tauranga for three weeks due to persistent southerly gales and low-pressure systems.15:45 They plan a 100-mile passage to the east-northeast to clear East Cape, aiming for Napier or Wellington once a high-pressure window stabilizes the conditions.7:27 The crew confirms the charging system's reliability by monitoring the regulator's output during a short coastal motor to a mooring near Tauranga.12:35
