Can a bike run without a voltage regulator?
Re: Running without a voltage regulator You do NOT need a regulator.. Your Volt/Ohm meter?? Check your battery power before you start it . A fully charged battery should show somewhere between 12.5 and 12.75 maybe slightly more!!
What should the voltage be on a battery regulator?
The regulator should cap the output of your battery at around 14.5. If the voltage reads over 14.5, it probably means that you have a faulty regulator. If your voltage reading is below 13.8 volts, you have a weak battery and will need to replace it soon. Read the schematics that came with the voltage regulator.
Where can I find a voltage regulator for my car?
There are 14 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page. Voltage regulators are commonly found in vehicles and other electronic equipment. A voltage regulator will limit the maximum amount of voltage from a power source and prevents a device or alternator from shorting and overheating.
How can I tell if my voltage regulator is faulty?
With your car still in park, slowly press on the gas until your car reaches 1,500-2,000 RPMs. Read the output on the multimeter. The regulator should cap the output of your battery at around 14.5. If the voltage reads over 14.5, it probably means that you have a faulty regulator.
How much does it cost to test a voltage regulator?
This meter will be able to read the voltage running through your battery and will indicate whether your regulator is working properly. A multimeter is often much less expensive than other complex diagnostic tools and can cost from anywhere from $14 to over $100. Open the hood of your vehicle.
