You're battery will charge if the input voltage is 13v but it'll take a long time. It charges better and quicker, and prefers to have a steady voltage well above 13.5v. If the voltage is too high (14.4v or so) for too long and you'll boil the water out of the battery, so there is a happy medium in there somewhere

I used to have an old car that had recurring alternator problems, and the car just wouldn't run until I replaced the alternator. I checked out the Mottorad Elektrik site and that 400 watt charging system seems to be what I need. I don't really rev my engine too high and have just been riding around town, no highway, so from what I gather perhaps my charging system has never turned on at all. I'll check it with a voltmeter, but the battery was brand new, and I just don't think that is the problem.
Thanks!
Anyone having trouble getting to this picture? It either loads VERY slow or when I do download the picture, all I get is a box with a red x.plexiform said:
