if the overvoltage is the only problem, means battery with BMS does not has to use this regulator? since it will balance and limit the voltage source that come from the "standart" regulator.
Stupid thing... I have a dead Battery Tender brand Lithium Iron Phosphate battery that has a built in BMS that even shuts off the battery if the temp goes below 29 degrees Fahrenheit, which is awesome... but the battery died on me yesterday and left me stranded at a dangerous intersection in the middle of rush hour... It was not a pleasant experience. I don't think I'm doing Lithium again... but at least I know the symptoms leading up to the catastrophic failure the battery had. I'm just not in the mood to spend $300 on a battery every year or so.
@@BerryTheBnnuy I don't think it is possible for the battery to kill the bike unless the charging system goes first. It would run on the current provided by the charging system. If the charging system fails, then it would run off power from the battery until the battery is dragged so far down that it can't run at all. The BMS should have protected the battery from getting low enough to harm itself, I would think.
I have a k6 GSXR750, am running a Shido lithium ion battery, Emmy charging system isn’t working so would like to buy this lithium rectifier from ricks as well as rick’s Stator, where would you recommend I relocate the rectifier? Or should I mount it on stock position where everyone thinks is a major heat zone?
@@RicksElectrics I relocated it to the left fairing, installed lithium compatible Rick’s Rec/Reg and Ricks Stator , also added an onboard voltimeter and never been happier, my battery is about 13.5V parked then when fuel pump primes it’s 13.1 and doesn’t drop when the motor starts, they immediately idling charging at 13.8 and as the engine warms 13.9V then finally as I ride it’s 14.0V , then using indicators it’s 13.9 and high beam on its 13.8 …. Just watching this while riding is incredible and my motor has never been happier … thank you so much Rick’s Electrics Motorsports
I just installed a Lithium Ion battery in my 2009 FLHX Harley Davidson. I have no idea what regulator is on this motorcycle, is there a plug and play lithium regulator for this particular motorcycle? Thanking you in advance, Anthony
Hi Anthony, Right now we only have regular-setpoint rec/regs as direct plug-ins for Harleys. However, if you're OK using a universal part and wiring it in you can email the system information to info@ricksmotorsportelectrics.com and our techs can take a look and see if we can match up the system to an appropriate universal rec/reg.
I replaced my battery with a lithium iron phosphate battery and a year later, just yesterday, my battery just died on my way to a meeting with the chapter of a biker organization that I belong to. The battery just up and died and the engine quit running. I immediately knew it was an electrical issue of some sort, but it took me half an hour to figure out what exactly went wrong. As soon as it happened, I sent a message to the chapter. A little while later some of them showed up at the intersection I stalled out at and one of them went and got me a new lead acid battery from a Walmart just half a mile away and I installed it and was on my way. Now I'm wondering if my regulator was maybe damaged. I hope not. I do have a replacement. Heck, I've got two of the exact same bike. I bought the second one because the first one needs its engine overhauled and the second one was mint condition and cost the same as having the first one's engine overhauled. So now I've got a parts bike that actually runs (the original bike) and the new bike. First one's a 1988 and the new one's a 2002, but they're practically identical in every way except decals and a few minor differences that don't result in incompatibility of anything. Both are KZ1000-P. Anyway, the 1988 had some electrical issues that I eventually tracked down to busted magnets in its generator, but I bought a new stator, rotor, and regulator. Ended up not needing the regulator. So I've got a NOS replacement on hand if I need to... It's just a pain in the ass to replace because it's under the bike, right in front of the swing arm, and despite having extra ground clearance from the cop suspension, it's still a pain in the ass to get to without one of those hydraulic tables to lift it up.
@@RicksElectrics What reg do I need for my 1993 Harley FXR? Will it be a plug in from stator and 1 wire to battery? Please help, burned 2 lithiums with a C.E. new reg and stator. Last battery I burned was a 398.00 antigravity....🤔
@@GidDree Good morning, Please email us at info@ricksmotorsportelectrics.com with the precise specifications/connection requirements for your bike (ideally, pictures of the OEM rec/reg).
Can you tell me what each individual wire is for on the rec/reg? I’m completely stripping the wiring on my chopped cb750 and need to know which wire is for what, thanks.
Hey how's it going? Awesome video, I just upgraded my amplifier, alternator and battery. My amplifier is running a little over 4k rms, I just installed a 200amp HO alternator and bought a big 90ah lithium bank. I was told I didn't need any regulator, just charge and add my lithium and go. I noticed my voltage sits @14.1 idle, before with my two xs power agm's I rested @ 14.4-14.6v. I started looking around to see if I'm missing anything and I keep seeing with alternators charging lithium I should get a regulator. I'm completely new to lithium, could I get any help on what regulator I would need? I don't want to blow my new alternator, I would greatly appreciate it!
We can't speak to someone else's product, but if it's an automotive-style alternator (which it would pretty much need to be in order to get a 200A output) then it should already have a voltage regulator integrated into it. If you're charging 14.1V that sounds just about perfect for a lith-ion battery.
Nah, stator is just the stationary part of the generator, it makes the power, the rectifier/regulator is what makes sure the power doesn't go over the proper voltage. Modern cars have a much better time of this because they use field coils which lets the alternator control how much power gets generated directly, without the need for a regulator. BTW "rectifier" means it rectifies AC into DC, and "regulator" means it regulates the voltage.
Rick please do another video about battery over charging, u used a jumper to solve this, please make a step by step instructions bro. We really appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
