Suzy is all better now
« on: March 15, 2018, 18:29:41 »
Massive thanks to Kwackboy AGAIN for the sterling service, Suzy has a new regulator and battery and is charging properly.

After fitting the regulator it still wasn't charging properly with the extras so a new battery was put on and works great.... I have discovered one thing though, I must get rid of my front halogen spotlights as they are seriously affecting the charge of the battery.

luckily I already have some front LEDs ready to fit after I build my LED rear cluster assembly (nothing too technical I can assure you)

Thanks again Brian you always go the extra mile  :thumb:

So what was the problem then?
Was it the rec/reg or was it just a case of running too many accessories (halogen accessory lights) that were preventing the battery from charging.

The regulator was the problem which also probably affected the battery ....
I didn't realise how much the spotlights were draining the system.
