    Did you checked all wires and connectors from generator to rectifier?

        @reecesloane-2017 generally, as long as it's a 12v battery it shouldn't make any difference so that isn't your issue.

            @Mightyman little bit more to it than that bud. Obviously needs to be rated appropriately otherwise the engine will drain more power from the battery than the battery can supply. But the DT's could probably run off AA batteries lol.

              @Calum aha yeah but generally people look into it much more than need be. "As long as it fits into the battery compartment" is my motto!

                  I would be checking continuity between the genny and the battery terminals. It sounds like the engine is generating power enough to sort itself out, it's just a case of sorting out the charging circuit out.

                      I guess that could happen on a warm bike.
                      Before doing any more diagnostics regarding the battery/charging, you need a battery in good working order. You might be able to salve the current one, by putting it on a charger.
