well it is normal for them to get warm.
have tested your stator output using the stator pages?

Re: rectifier

A battery fresh off the charger that only shows a little over 12 volts is a faulty battery. Its dead as in gone, toast, zip nada. :-) You would do just as well trying to run the electrical system from a peanut butter sandwich with a voltage of 11.5. Useless. You cannot check your charging system if you have nothing to put a charge into. Get a new battery first.

NO, the battery for the CM 200 would not be sufficient capacity.

i also noticed when i charged my battery and put it back in the bike it was showing a little over 12v when i started my bike it dropped and stayed about 11.5 PLEASE HELP A GSER i have a old honda cm200 t is there a way to make that thing work or is it to small

i was not talking about the battery from the honda i was talking about the rectifier the battery was tested at batterys plus i also hooked up the rectifier from the honda 200 and it could not handle the volts my stator made so it is to small i will just have to call and try and order one

If your battery, after being on a battery charger for the correct length of time does not charge to a level of at least 12.8 volts and preferably about 13.1-13.2 volts, then the battery is not up to capacity as it should be.
A charge level of "a little over 12 volts" is a faulty battery if the battery had been on charge for a normally sufficient time. If the battery will not accept a proper charge, I would not put much credence into the Battery's Plus test.
