Battery question

[barbagris]

It's a Suzuki one...I think from the Bandit, and it has the same plugs as the Triumph model...but that won't affect charging unless you are so festooned with accessories that the original rectifier is already wheezing. The Suzuki one is serial type and while it will work just as hard it doesn't pull power out of the stator that it's not going to use. The Triumph R/R is a shunting type and it does do this and the unwanted power is dumped into the oil...to cool the stator off....and heat up the oil. Better to just not make any more electricity than you can use.

Thanks John.
No I'm not running any accessories (bar Triumph clock and fuel gauge) but what "I thought" I read was that the Triumph system could fail, or the Alternator could fail due to the Rectifier being the different type to the Suzuki.
So my question is; is it better to have the Suzuki type where it only pulls what is required from the Alternator ?
Or the Triumph shunt type one.
What I didn't get from your post is which one provides the "Better to just not make any more electricity than you can use"

Edit: oops, just read further posts and have now read Kens post - thank you.

I've got the Suzuki one....it had to displace the evap system for a place to live, but plugs right in. Not being a shunting type it doesn't run the alternator full bore and waste what is not needed (As crippling heat). It takes what it needs and the whole thing runs cooler. (The R/R itself is MOSFET and it can get quite warm...@DECOSSE confirms that is the nature of MOSFETs so as long as the beasty has room to breathe it will be fine.

Other way round - the OEM one is MOSFET in Shunt configuration and these run MUCH cooler than conventional SCR Shunt Regulators.
I don't know for sure but don't think the Series devices are MOSFET - the module dos get a bit warmer than the OEM module but not as much as an old-school SCR Shunt Reg.

Annndddd still looking for suggestions for a cold weather battery. Thread seems have been highjacked in three diections. Actually lots of great info but still looking for some basic recommendations
