What is voltage at battery with motorcycle running?
Typically 14 to 14.5 volts assuming a fully ( or nearly) charged battery.
Can a motorcycle battery charger be used to charge a lawn tractor battery?
If both batteries are of the same voltage (12 or 6) yes, you can use the charger. make sure that they are of the same voltage.
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 voltage is a Harley motorcycle battery?
All Harley Davidson motorcycles have used a 12 volt battery since 1965. Prior to 1965 they used a 6 volt battery.
What keeps a battery on a motorcycle running?
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.
How can you check the charging voltage of a yamaha seca?
Take a voltmeter and hook it up to the battery posts and read what the voltage is. It should be 12 volts or more. Now start the motorcycle and check the voltage, if it goes up, it's charging. If not, check the battery to make sure it is not dry.
Can a car battery charger be used on a motorcycle?
Yes and no. If you use a jumping unit, most have a setting that should match your cycle's battery voltage and limit current. You can jump one cycle's battery with another cycle's battery provided they are the same voltage and a rechargable-friendly (for example lead-acid) chemistry.
What is a motorcycle voltage regulator?
A voltage regulator converts a/c volatge from the stator to dc voltage and regulates it down to under 15 volts. When they go bad they can over charge and take out a battery as well as not charge at all.
What would cause a motorcycle battery to explode while riding it?
Overcharging; most likely the altenator is at fault and supplying too high a voltage.
Can you charge a motorcycle battery with a car battery charger?
Yes as long as it is the right voltage: a 6v battery needs a 6v charger; a 12v battery needs a 12v charger. <><><> If you can set the battery charger's output to give either a 6 or a 12 volt output, then you must always remember to set it to 6 volts if you want to use it to charge a 6 volt motorcycle car battery.
Can I jump start a motorcycle?
yes i do it often Ok, that answer works-- I've also done it on more than one occasion-- but there are some things to consider. I'll try not to get too technical, but a lot of people misunderstand so I want to be complete. First we have to look at lead acid batteries as are used on both cars and motorcycles. When charging, a lead acid battery heats up. If you try to charge it too fast, it will heat up too much and damage the battery. You've probably noticed that a car battery is a lot bigger than a motorcycle battery which means that a car battery can be charged faster than a motorcycle battery. Consequenty, the alternator voltage on your car is probably around 14 volts (the alternator voltage on my pickup is nearly 15 volts while some of my smaller cars are thirteen point something). Both because the battery can't be charged as quickly and because the alternator is much smaller on the motorcycle, the alternator voltage is much lower. How fast the battery charges depends on the amount of current going into it which is directly related to the difference in the battery voltage and the charging circuit voltage. A fully charged car or motorcycle battery is at about 12.6 V. Ok, that's the technical part. Even if you didn't understand what I just said, pay attention to what follows and you'll probably be ok. When your car is running, the electrical system is operating at a higher voltage to keep the battery charged. The electronics in your car is designed to handle the higher voltage. Electronics in your motorcycle may or may not be able to handle this higher voltage. When you jump start a motorcycle from a car, make sure the car isn't running to avoid damage to the electronics on your motorcycle. Older or more basic motorcycles may be ok because they don't have much in the way of electronics but on newer motorcycles-- especially if you have fuel injection or electronic ignition-- serious damage can occur if the car is running when you jump start the motorcycle. So, only jump start if you must and always jump start with the host car not running. Trust me on this. You don't need the potential heartache.
