A fully charged car battery will read 12.6 volts, 75% charge will read 12.4 volts, 50% charge will read 12.2 volts, and a 25% charged battery will read 12.0 volts with the engine not running. With the engine running it will read 13.5 to 15.5 volts.

How do you test voltage regulator on motorcycle?
Check the battery voltage, bike not running. Start the bike (crank the rpm's up a little), voltage should be a couple of volts more than battery voltage. Check both voltage (running and not running) at battery terminals. Charge voltage isn't all though, if it doesn't stop charging when it should it will boil the battery dry. If you are having this symptom, it's for sure the regulator
What is the voltage of the battery for a Suzuki V Strom?
12V is the standard rating of a battery designed for the V strom. It's running voltage can go up to 14.6v and can be as low as 10.5v and still be useful. The voltage will vary if, when tested, the engine is running and the regulator/rectifier is trying to charge the battery. The voltage will also vary depending on how many accessories are running at the time of testing.
Why is the car battery charging at 14 volts running and 13.5 not running?
your alternator charges the battery while the car is running. The alternator actually puts out a higher voltage than 14 volts while it is running, but it is reduced by a voltage regulator (most of which are already built into the alternator housing), to prevent damage and premature death of the vehicles battery. While your car is not running, the alternator is not charging the battery, and the 13.5 volt reading you get is just the measurement of the voltage the battery is holding at that given point.
What is the voltage of a Yamaha maxim battery?
Battery type: YB14L Initial Charging Rate: 1.4A 10 hours Specific Gravity: 1.280 Voltage should be at least 12V DC
What should the voltage be on a car battery not running?
around 12.5 to 12.8 volts
What voltage is a Honda Civic battery?
Any modern day car's ideal battery voltage is 13.8Volt. In practive however the voltage you'll find on a charged battery when testing will be in the region of 12.5V to 13V A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts with the engine not running. With the engine running at idle speed it will read from 13.5 to 15.5 volts.
What is voltage at battery with motorcycle running?
Typically 14 to 14.5 volts assuming a fully ( or nearly) charged battery.
How do you measure the voltage on a car alternator?
get a multi meter that reads dc voltage & touch the black (negative -) wire to the negative battery post & the red (positive +) wire to the positive battery post with car running. car off is battery voltage, car on is alternator voltage.
Your alt light is on but battery is charging?
Does alt. light stay on after car is shut off? If so could be voltage regulator is defective and overcharging battery when running Does light stay on after car is shut off? If so could be a bad voltage regulator--if so may be overcharging battery Check voltage readings at battery should be around 14.2 with car running -- if much higher than this voltage regulator is bad.
What causes the battery to drain when running?
Defective alternator or voltage regulator. Also possibly the battery is defective with a dead cell.
Why wont your brand new alternator recharge your battery?
Maybe the battery is defective. Check the voltage at the battery terminals with the engine running at idle. You should get 13.5 to 16 volts. If not the alternator is defective or the voltage regulator is bad. If you are getting the correct voltage, the battery is bad or the connections are corroded.
Will a bad battery cause hesitation in a car?
No, a defective battery will prevent the engine from starting but once it is running the battery will not cause hesitation. the the starter relay is disengaged , and the alternator takes over battery charging via voltage regulator . voltage regulator prevents power surges and prevents voltage fluctuation.
