Electronic voltage regulator???

I've got 4 electronic voltage regulators and they all have different ohm ranges, from 1.35 to 3.75. Question is, which one will show a higher charge to the battery, the lower ohms or higher ohms regulator?

Try them and let us know scope wrench up

just thinking out loud, the one with lesser ohms (resistance) would flow more. for our basic electronic regs which I thought were the same that does seem like quite a range

What he said is correct but the resistance will change based on current flow needed to keep the voltage at the prescribed voltage.

When un-powered they may not necessarily have a reading of consequence.

Plug them in and see what you get.

I am struggling with trying to understand what resistance you are measuring and what bearing that has on charging voltage setpoint.
