Ok new battery, dont wanna screw it up
Ok guys i went to Sears and the lady didnt even test the battery, she just gave me a new one! Anyway, i filled it up with acid, waited about 30 minutes like it says, then topped it off. Its charging now, just like the instructions say. I dont wanna screw this one up! After its fully charged, what should the voltage be before its hooked to the bike, and after hooked up with the bike running. I have checked the voltage before and its never been over 12.8 even at 5k rpms. I have another stator that i can use if the one thats in there is bad, but i dont wanna go through the trouble of changing it if its not bad. Any ideas?Tags: None

12.54 volts is what a battery is tested at when CCA is determined. A new battery should put that out when fully charged. Your 12.8V tells me you have bad/corroded connections somewhere in your charging curcuit. You ahve to remember that charging current must exceed battery current in order for the battery to charge. 13.8 volts should be waht your getting at the battery when charging from your bikes electrical. You may want to review The Stator Papers to check your system out. pay special attention to the connector from your stator to regulator.
