I just replaced my stater yesterday(I had no spark) with a new 8 pole. And I have in the passed put an marine grade volt gauge. On my way to work with it I noticed it was putting out 14 volts. I do have a duel battery set up and I am running car h4 bulbs. And if I start to go over 50mph it charging over 14v..Ohh yeah I have an 150cc scoot.Is this voltage going to ruin anything?
Thanks

It hasn't hurt anything on my 150, and it always charges at 14.5 volts, according to the VDO volt meter that I installed years ago. The original battery lasted 2 years and 3 months......I replaced it a year ago this past June, with one that cost me $22.  , shipped to my door. I have put just 4,000 miles on the scooter since then. I have not replaced one bulb on it ever. Purchased it new in March 2012.....added a few LED's here and there, but have never burned out or blown any lights. |
