12 volts is the standard and has been for many years. In the past, some motorcycles and especially scooters and small bikes had 6 volt batteries.

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.
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 motorcycle battery?
Usually 12 Volt
Can you charge a 4.2 volt battery with a 4.6 volt charger?
Can You Charge...Yes. As a matter of fact, in order to charge a battery, the charging voltage HAS to be greater than the charged battery's voltage or no current will flow and charging cannot happen.Of course, the charging voltage cannot be excessive, or damage to the battery being charged will result.In your question, 4.6 volts is not excessive for a 4.2 volt battery.
What is the maximum charging voltage for a 12-voltage gel cell battery?
15.5 volts maximum.
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.
Can you charge a 12volt battery with a 6volt charger?
NO, a 12 volt battery cannot be charged with a 6 volt charger. To charge any battery, the charging voltage has to be, at least, slightly higher than higher than the voltage of the battery. Current flowing through the battery is what accomplishes the charging, and no current will flow at or below the voltage of the battery to be charged.
Please explain the charging circuit in automobile. 1. How does the charging light comes on when ignition switch is turned on 2. How charging light comes on when alternator is not or less charging?
When the ignition is turned on, battery voltage passes down the wire to the alternator to 'excite' the alternator when the engine starts. When the engine starts and the alternator generates a voltage, the light is extinguised by the charging voltage cancelling out the battery voltage coming down the wire. If and when the alternator completetly fails the the light will come back on as there is no sancelling voltage. if the alternator produces a voltage lower than the voltage from the ignition switch then the battery light will glow.
Is it suitable to apply voltage 12V 30mA to charge 4V 750mA battery?
No, the charging voltage needs to closely match the battery or BOOM!
Why some time the terminal voltage of a battery increases more than its rating?
When the alternator starts charging the battery voltage will increase about two volts to charge the battery.
Why wont the battery recharge on your 1980 suzuki gs 550 l?
Hi, Either bad charging system or battery. Check battery voltage itself and then voltage to battery with engine running. Healthy charging system will put out 1.5 to 2.0 volts above battery voltage. Motorcycles are notoriously rough on batteries. Peace, crigby
Can a voltage regulator cause a car to not start?
no, the voltage regulater is for charging not the ignition system, it can however drain the battery
