What should the charging voltage be on a Harley stator?
You can use 13 as a good all around battery voltage. That is a good healthy battery staying charged just above 12 volts. Example only: Let’s say the stator is rated for 10 amps x 13-volt battery: 10 x 13=130 watt charging system. So you have a 130-watt charging system in this example.
