The battery is charged by a generator that runs through a regulator-rectifier. The generator outputs AC voltage and the rectifier converts the voltage to DC. The generator is normally mounted inside the engine on the flywheel.
it recharges the battery automatically, but it will only recharge the battery if the bike is running.
battery's and light sorce
Typically 14 to 14.5 volts assuming a fully ( or nearly) charged battery.
Once the engine is running it mechanically turns an alternator. The alternator generates a current which powers the motorcycle and also recharges the battery.When removed from the motorcycle the battery will need to be recharged using a specialist battery charger which plugs into household mains.
Disconnect the battery.
If the engine is running, then no. The alternator constantly keeps the battery charged.
1988 , 1100 ? Anyway, when the bike is running did you run a volt meter on the battery. Should read around 14. something volts. If it reads only the battery like 12.4 volts then most likely the stator is gone. Now what kind of bike was that again?
thats an easy one. i had the same problem with my gs500e. its the violtage regultor. definatly
CMOS is the little battery in the computer's motherboard which keeps the computers internal clock running.
Either a short to power or a bad fan switch.
on a 1990 cadallic sedan de ville after you cut the car off the blower keeps running killing the battery
Possibly a bad alternator. The Alternator charges the battery when the vehicle is running. If the battery is not being charged this could cause the vehicle not to start.
