[QUOTE="TexKDX, post: 154824, member: 16276"] Thanks for the response, Techman. Yea, you hit in an area that I'm curious about and was planning to do research in - that of overcharging batteries with the bike's electrical system. I always wondered about that on the '95 RXC's system. The same applies when you add a battery to an enduro bike's simplified system. I understand bleeding off the excess voltage above 13.8 volts, but not how the wattage is dealt with. It must go SOMEWHERE, right? For example, on my KLR it has like a 130 watt output stator, yet drives a 55 watt headlight and 5 or 10 watt tail light, plus charges its battery. How does the system keep from overcharging the battery, watts-wise? Why don't the bulbs blow from excess wattage, even with the volts are kept at 13.8 or less? I assume the same principles apply for household current - lots of extra watts available there you know... Any EE insight would be appreciated, either here or via email. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
