What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today?

Bottom line, if the battery has a management circuit then a nice smooth 14V DC supply can charge it. When you think about it, when you fit a lithium battery you don't need to make any modification to the bikes charging circuit, it just supplies a reasonably smooth 13.8 - 14.2V....so if the bikes charging circuit which used to charge the lead acid can work, so too can a bench supply, or modern switch-mode charger.[/quote]



Exactly, stator generates AC, rectifier converts to DC, DC charges battery. Never understood all the different chargers. I've had the Same 4A self regulating car type charger for 30 years or more and charged acid, AGM and leisure batteries no problem......I was in the garage today checking stuff and the 4TX and old Triumph have Motobatt AGM installed and haven't had any charge since September. Both showing 12.4 / 12.5. Impressive methinks

Well today, I've done this

 

Started here....

Turned out lovely. Well chuffed.

 

Had to celebrate with cake  :cake eating:

Nice, what's involved Sphere ? New cover only or cover and foam ? I've got a spare seat to experiment on......
