Then found that thread on them and how to replace the diode. These charging systems leave a bit to be desired. A guy could adapt a generic rectifier/regulator to these motors but in my stupid OCD analness to stay orginal. Just make sure they are electrically speced the same as the orginals. Or close to it. Keeping mind you may only need one. Output voltage depends on the RPM and condition of the stator. I put a voltmeter on the 502 to monitor the voltage and if it got too high just flipped on the bug eyes. So much for orginal but no cooked batteries. they are supposed to be 400v .5amp and from what Ive gathered is what they came with 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Save Old Iron's response in that other thread kinda explains it. Trouble is if they go out or over charge one has no way of knowing it until a dead or cooked battery. All the techies that come thru here had one or both toasted. Its rare that they get shorted out. more common is grounded and open up. An idea would be to get one of those little digital voltmeters from the jungle for monitoring. Hide it up in a inconspicuous place if the original thing bothers ya. Keep us posted on what your DMM says once you get that far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
