I used a Bus (Vehicle)'s fan DC Motor to roll a fuel generator Coil(complete with its armature). I connected the + and - wires of the motor to a 12V battery (75 amps), and then connected the charging wires from the coil to a Diode and then from the diode to the 12V battery in order to charge the battery and prevent it from running down. However, the fan motor seems to be drawing more power from the battery than the charging current going into the battery, or rather, the charging current is returning to the coil, which shouldn't be.
So, how do I maintain the charging current on the battery or prevent the battery from discharging. Pls help!
