Why is my jump starter not charging?
Why is your battery jump starter not charging? Most likely, the battery in your jump starter is no longer any good. The battery packs inside a jump starter need to be properly maintained or else they do not last. Even then, they only have a shelf life of a few years before they need to be replaced.
How to troubleshoot the road star charging system?
Open up the Left-hand side cover, in front of the battery, a cable clamp with several bundles of wire and connectors are present, one connector has 3 white wires going in and out of the opposing connector. This is connector ‘B’ in the diagram below. Hold one test lead to any stator lead. Hold other test lead to any other stator lead. Note reading.
What to do if Stanley Fat Max 700 won’t charge?
Simple fix is to OPEN the box up, note the size of battery and type of posts and buy new battery for the inside of the box (Amazon). To replace the battery is 1/2 cost of a new jump box ! NOTE: You have to get same posts to get it to fit in box
What should the stator readings be on a road star?
Equal readings should be obtained at each pair of stator leads. Your readings should be between .45 ~ .55 ohms on all three pin sets of the plug. If readings are + or – a bit , do not automatically decide the stator is bad, temperature, materials, and tools can give a fluxuation of readings.
How long does Stanley Fat Max battery last?
This may well be an instance of “you get what you paid for”. Considering the new jump pack goes for around $200, and the original batteries seem to last up to 10 years, if/when I’m in need of a replacement I’ll probably stick with the sanctioned replacement battery, though I will look for best price. nssdiver and Taxi/Limo like this.
Are there any issues with the V-Star 1100 charging system?
There is a lot of issues noted online about the V*1100 charging system. Mainly that the battery gets real hot, may appear to be bloated, and no longer works. This and the ‘dead battery’ issues appear a lot. So I have made some attempt to document things you can do to determine the cause, and get the problems corrected.
How do you test a V-Star 1100 battery?
Test 1 (the battery) Remove the battery cover. Measure the voltage (DC) across the battery. It should read about 12.4 – 12.9 volts. If the battery voltage is too low, take the battery in and have it charged then tested under load. Test 2 (the regulator) Now start the bike. Measure the voltage across the battery, but this time, rev the engine.

What makes up the alternator on a V-Star 1100?
The alternator is where it starts. It contains the stator. The stator is basically some wire wrapped around a core. When a magnet passes near the core, an AC voltage is generated. This voltage is fed to the rectifier/regulator. The rectifier/regulator can be either 1 integrated device, or 2 separate devices. On the V*1100 it is 1 integrated device.
