Did you run the large 1/0 positive cable from the generator to the battery box positive stud?

Not trying to sound stupid here but are you using the gauge to say you are charging? If that is you only evidence than the gauge may have gone bad. It appears like you have replaced a lot of stuff. So what was the original problem. And what was your steps. My assumption is it did not start. And the assumption would lead me to believe the order of events are slightly different than you describe.

Thanks

installed the uppgrade kit that was required , and still not working .the battery meter reads yellow at all times

my 60 amp voltage reg whent bad it was sending out to much voltage nearly started a fire in the battery compartment .that led to damaging the smart start box , so i figured an uppgrade would be best , but now left wth this problem

Maybe have your batteries bench tested. If your 60 amp regulator almost started a fire and damaged your smart box they may be bad and showing yellow.

Verify voltage at the output at the generator. The volt meter may have been damaged due to the over voltage.

if you got a Niehoff they have trouble shooting guides for their alternators on their website under service and support, Niehoff part numbers start with N****,

wired up wrong? or missing wires?

Disconnect the regulator wires and manually run a 24v temporary wire to the regulator +24v see if it charges then.
