Default Re: Alternator/reg/rec question ...

Another alternative for a bike in a council garage with no power is what I did for a pal in a similar situation.I kept and old but good car battery from a scrapped car.Got him to fit an SAE connector


https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battery-T...MAAOSwB09YQA5v

to his battery like I have for my Maintenance charger.And the another one with some big crocodile clips to go on the Battery.Fully charged the Car battery lasts for months as a float-charge for his SV650. Electrically the bike thinks it's got a 60amp+ reservoir.

You do really need a car though as he takes the Car battery away and charges it from time-to-time.


My SAE connector is discretely run under the rear seat/frame and you can't see it unless you were looking for it.
