Hello, new to the forum. I’m after some proper useful advice!
I have a Honda XR650R Australian model.
It had a 75watt stator with 3 coils:
1 ignition
1 DC coil (through reg/rec, capacitor in series
1 AC coil one end earthed to frame, regulated.
I have purchased a 200w stator with the same set up, however ac coil earth is a free cable, not internal. So I can wire it in many ways, all ac, all dc or split.
The ac and dc currently share a ground. This doesn’t cause an issue but I want to add a battery, to stabilise power and to allow a day time running light.
So I wanted a li-ion battery, but this needs a special regulator rectifier, i looked at mosfet type units but they are 3 phase. I could have just used 1 coil and had 1 phase rectification but I am told the unit won’t work as my grounds are shared.
So I want to upgrade my reg/rec unit, how do I know a units power rating. I can’t seem to find info on many regulators or even find out if they will work with a shared ground.
How do I find out the current rating of my original unit?
Would it be easier to remove AC completely and run purely DC?
Any help, I keep hitting dead ends!!!
