Is a Motorcycle Battery Voltage of 11.8 Normal?
1 Answers
Motorcycle battery voltage of 11.8 is normal. Introduction to normal motorcycle battery voltage: The voltage should be between 9~13V. Under normal circumstances, to measure the charging voltage, a properly functioning battery should be installed on the motorcycle for measurement; otherwise, the results may be inaccurate. On some motorcycles, when no battery is installed, increasing the throttle may actually lower the charging voltage. This is because the rectifier reduces the output voltage to protect the electrical appliances. Additional information on motorcycle battery voltage: The rectifier or charger should have an AC input current limiting circuit, generally limiting the AC input current to 115% of the full-load input current. When powered by a generator set, the AC input current should be limited to 100% of the full-load input current.
