Why is my Honda trx420 not charging properly?
Welcome to the forums. X3, your charging system isn’t working properly. More than likely, a bad stator or a bad regulator/rectifier. My guess would be a bad regulator/rectifier. By the way, a good battery should read at least 12.6 volts when fully charged.
What makes up the charging system on a Honda TRX 400ex?
The charging system on a Honda TRX 400EX and most other ATVs is made up of a stator that provides AC power; a regulator/rectifier unit that converts the AC power to DC power and sends it to the battery; and a battery that stores the power and feeds it to the various electrical systems.
What should battery reading be on Honda ATV?
The reading should be at least 14 volts. If the reading is 14 volts or above but the battery is failing to hold a charge, diagnose the battery with a battery tester. If the reading is below 14 volts, the charging system isn’t providing enough current to the battery and needs to be tested.
What should static voltage be on Honda ATV?
The reading should be between 12.5 volts and 13 volts. If the reading is below that, the battery should be charged and the static voltage test repeated. If the reading is still below 12.5 volts, the battery needs to be replaced.
