    What about the contacts on the generator cables? Maybe cleaning them helps. Or the built-in generator regulator is wrong. I do not know the real word in English, but we here call it the "coals" of the generator. Small black things (always 2 pcs) that run on the generator shaft. Maybe they are just worn out.

    Hope that helps finding the electric gremlin....

      When you say coals I think you are talking about what we call brushes. The charging function seems fine due to the guage and a multimeter reading on the battery. I will clean all the contacts as I haven't done that yet. Can't hurt
