    Question about voltage output and the SH847AA rectifier

    I took out the battery to get load tested at the Batteries Plus store. It is a Deka battery, which I believe is a well made battery. There was a 1/17 sticker on it which I think means it was installed on January, 2017, almost 2 years ago. The load test showed it to be on the low end of the...

    Tampa R3T Riders Head East in Search of BBQ

    As dandiego noted, it was a beautiful day today. This is the kind of weather that makes people come to Florida. I covered 69 miles, mostly interstate, to get to the meet up point. It was 58 degrees when I left the house. I am a Southern boy, so when it is in the fifties, out come the electric...

    Question about voltage output and the SH847AA rectifier

    I will take the battery to get load tested. I went into a battery plus store near me and they had a Duracell powersports battery that is the right size, 310 CCA, & 17.5 AH. It is made in the U.S. by East Penn Manufacturing. It comes with a 2 yr replacement warranty if it goes bad in that 2 yrs...

    Question about voltage output and the SH847AA rectifier

    Ted, I think you may be right. I have tested the battery several times now after letting it sit either over night or for 1-2 days. When I hook my digital volt meter to the battery before turning on the key, the voltage is from 12.5 to 12.6 volts. When I turn on the key, my volt meter says it is...

    Hello from Hyderabad - South India

    Welcome from another Rocket Captain in Florida, USA. I have had my 2014 R3T since April, 2018. I was on this board for a long time before getting her. This board has been most helpful, entertaining, and respectful. It is a great place to hang out and learn.

    Question about voltage output and the SH847AA rectifier

    I will check with a volt meter. I have been watching this occur over the past week since I installed the SH847AA. I believe the CVS works with both lead acid and lithium batteries.

    Revisiting my SH847 regulator/rectifier mount.

    Wow, Bedifferent! If this is what you can make without “proper” tools, I can only imagine what you could do with “proper” tools. You are quite the artist! You are too modest!

    Revisiting my SH847 regulator/rectifier mount.

    I have a 2014 R3T. I have purchased the Suzuki rectifier. It definitely is too big to fit in the place where the OEM one is located. I have 2, 5 connector Blue Sea Systems Common BusBars for the common ground for electrical additions zip tied to the evaporator canister on the left side. If I...
