FS: Solid State Diode Cutouts

Post by **AdminJeff** » Sun Nov 05, 2023 12:35 pm

I just sourced another good sized batch of cutout tops, so I can now produce solid state, Diode Cutouts in addition to Voltage Regulators. These are high quality, 60 Amp diode based cutouts (the other vendors mostly use 30A diodes) and they are a direct replacement for your mechanical cutout. They are identical to the original Ford cutouts and have the Ford script on the top.

Cutouts (mechanical and diode) just prevent the battery from discharging when the car is off. When the car is running, with just a cutout, once your battery is fully charged, it will KEEP charging as long as the car is running.
Voltage Regulators, on the other hand, actually turn off the charge to the battery once it is fully charged and turn back on the charge current if the battery becomes slightly discharged vastly improving and extending battery life.

NOTE: I'm still looking for more original Ford cutout cores.
I also repair Fun Projects Voltage Regulators that have been damaged!
