chorusguy 222 #1 Posted July 25, 2015 C160. Bought a new battery several months ago. Started fine. Used for a couple of weeks then battery was dead. Charged it and used it for a month. Battery dead. Put a bit of a charge on it today (didn't fully charge it). Ran for awhile. Took a break. Battery dead. Amp meter is jiggling rapidly when running but never really swinging beyond zero. I know I will get good help here but please understand I am an electrical idiot so please respond in simple layman terms. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,166 #2 Posted July 25, 2015 Do you have multimeter (Something to measure voltage)? There are some simple tests we can walk you through. Without one we are taking shots in tehdark. Most likely is teh voltage regulator has issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,501 #3 Posted July 25, 2015 I would also start with downloading the C 160 Operations/Parts manual with the electrical /wiring diagram so you can check connections o n all you wires on t the C160. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 552 #4 Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) I would start with learning how to correctly troubleshoot electrical issues. Here are two indispensable manuals for troubleshooting electrical issues, and in your case a non-charging battery. Your schematic is on Pg. 25 of the first manual. Good luck in your quest.http://www.mywheelhorse.com/graphics/file/z_Other/ESM_810291R2.pdfhttp://www.mywheelhorse.com/graphics/file/z_Other/trpdemys.pdf Edited July 26, 2015 by MikesRJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
