2008 M1097R1 Voltage Reg. N3135 running 12v items

Questions on installing 12v items.. This is what I have a 2008 Humvee M1097R1 6.5 3spd. I see in the wiring diagram for the charging system on the Voltage regulator N3135 that there is a yellow post labeled 14v. I can not find any info in the TM's related to this terminal. If I put a volt meter on, reading idle 12.7 volts and 2500 RPM 13.9. Assuming I could use this to power/charge a third battery for 12. volt items or a 12 v winch. My issues are I can not find any data related to this yellow connector, for voltage or amp rating. It is a 7/16 size stud so assume it should be able to but out some amps.

From what I have seen on this site that 14v tap was designed to run the electronics on the 4l80 4 speed transmission and does not supply enough amperage for any heavy load like a winch. It probably would be ok for charging phones or running a 2 way radio. I just installed a new Mile Marker winch on my M1097A1, if you call and order it direct they will build it in 24v for a $50 up charge. i would not run the risk of frying that regulator, they are like $600 to replace.

Thanks for reply...Found a wiring diagram of charging circuit, and found that it is a 12v 14v 50 amp load circuit. I am going to use this to wire in a 12v service fuse block for 12v volt items. Most of the lighting be added are hid's which run on either 12v or 24 volts. Looked at adding the 24v winches and figured that would be the way to go. They are a 100$ more then a 12 volt but if I added an other 12v battery it justifies the cost. Also keeping wiring simple.
