[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 109438, member: 586"] I don't want to hi-jack the post but I am an electrical imbecile. Is it correct that a generator will only show a +ve charge on the ammeter if you are actually using electricity (lights, ignition)? I have a Motobatt on my 6v Rapide. I can run with lights on for quite a while showing -ve charge and then wham!! +4 amps which will then stabilise at +2. My regulator is a little alloy box that can be switched between 6v and 12v. All the gubbins are sealed in epoxy and the Miller generator needed a bit of re-wiring to accomodate it. I think it was purchased in the Netherlands by the previous owner back in the 1990s. I do worry sometimes that it has failed but then it always kicks in eventually. The Motobatt is a sealed gel mat type and my lights are QI front and LED rear. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
