15v
 

Following on from my lights drain battery thread

I am now all of a sudden getting 15v across the battery.
That to me sounds like a reg/rec fault .
or could it be an earth fault where it mounts.
I am not riding it as something will start glowing I am sure.

That does seem a little high...

I'd be looking at the regulator.

hi there almost certarn a reg/rec fault dont run the bike or you will cook the battery or something worse untill you try a replacement unit . good luck zigzag

Well, I think it may have been down to a low battery in my multimeter. Was doing some work on my other bike and it was also saying 15V but came back to 13.4 with a new PP9 . So being a duffer I had forgotten about that and stripped the XT down, cleaned up the RR mount and earth connections . Started it up, about the 14V mark. How pleased was I ???? And then I remembered.
Doh !
