Hello,
I'm finally getting around to wiring my bike. I'll be using LED's, except for the headlight, a Hughs Handbuilt PMA, stock points and timing advance. Kick start only
I found the batter shown in the photograph. I've run the bike on the battery only (no PMA, lights etc.) without issues. I left it on the charger for a few days, then, put it into the bike after I got the wiring set up with the reg/rectifier and PMA. I was checking the continuity and the voltage on my wiring, and, I was getting 18+volts! It's supposed to be a 12 volt battery?
My question is, can I use this battery? Will it fry my PMA / reg / rect or the bike wiring? What about a fire hazard?
Thanks
