Adding water to the battery

Instead of going through the harness and it's connections the power generated from the stator, to the R/R then to the battery thus the charging system is independent. The battery is being taxed trying to keep up with the lights, Dyna S and green Dyna coils with a charging system putting out intermittent power shown by the multimeter. I may have found the problem.

I figured you were overlooking / overcooking something if you are destroying new batteries in less than a year, no matter where they are made.

If you isolated the stator wiring from the main harness doesn't really make it a independent system any more than one with the yellow wires still taped into the main harness. The thing that makes it somewhat independent is it's >not< needing the brown sense voltage to control charge voltages. I do hope the missing stator phase didn't damage any of the rectifier diodes in the SH-775. I doubt it, but electricity can be funny like that.

I don't think I've seen a miniature analog meter like that in 20-30 years. A customer I repaired a dining room light for yesterday had a large Micronta (Radio Shack vintage) analog meter vintage mid 80's that was the large version of your little meter. My digital multi-meter is a HF $20.00 special, after I smoked out my good digital meter checking out a mercury vapor ballast, that made my long time digital meter turn into vapor. poof. :pinch:


I can't make much out of the videos either, (cough, choke, grunt, cough, good kitty, hack.. lol) so I just forgo it hoping that you will type out a summary of your findings. BUT, all of your healthy living does look to be paying off BIG! More soda and cigarettes please.

Don't like soda. :sick: I found the problem. :woohoo:

I could only see your meter display briefly in your video (as usual), but from what I could see, it looked like it was charging ~14.59 volts under load. This seems a tad bit high to me, which may still cook your batteries. I am assuming you still have the SH775 R/R (non-adjustable) that uses no sense feed (brown wire) except the output wire. Perhaps you still have some flaky connections between the battery and the regulator causing the output to run high?
