April 2, 201114 yr Not sure if your dc alt is set to 15.5v or 18v, but I'm guessing it's internally regulated? I'd talk to dc about it, first.

April 4, 201114 yr Yes, that looks like a GM 4 pin oval and the VCM will work on it to allow you to charge a 16V battery set up. One thing though is that with 16V batteries you need to charge around 19.2V.
