What voltage should my Harley charge at?
Check the voltage of the battery while it is disconnected from the bike using the multimeter. The volts should be no less than 12 volts.
What’s the voltage reading on my Street Glide?
I have a question just for my knowledge and maybe some others. I’ve noticed on my ’08 SG with 90,000+ miles now that the voltage meter at start up is around 14.5-14.7 volts. After riding some time on the freeway, it goes down to around 13 volts and then when I get off doing streets, it goes back up to 14.5-14.7 volts.
What should the voltage be on a Harley Davidson Charger?
Generally speaking, 14.6 volts is a hard set regulation point on most 12 volt systems such as a Harley. Basically, this does not allow the regulator to send voltage to the battery any higher than 14.6 volts. If the stator fails, your battery will no longer be charging when you’re riding your motorcycle.
Why does my glide battery shunt the voltage?
Yes, once the battery is fully charged the regulator will shunt the voltage it does this for 2 reasons 1 the battery does not need the voltage 2 by shunting it gets rid of heat to protect itself Blue Wide Glide, Fisherking and zoob2 like this.
Why is my Harley Davidson battery not charging?
If the stator fails, your battery will no longer be charging when you’re riding your motorcycle. Often times, a short can happen in the windings around the stator. The insulation on the wires can wear down over time or a wire can break.
