Why does your motorcycle battery overheat while riding?In: Motorcycles |
[Edit] |
Answer
Pretty much for one of two reasons: Too much current going in, or too much current going out. That is, something faulty is draining it savagely when you ride, or - most of the time - your charging voltage regulator is not working properly and it's overcharging the battery. If you have a multimeter handy, measure the voltage across the battery when the engine is running, somewhat revved. If it's more than 13.5...14 Volts, you've got a charging problem...
