My 82 Asby needs a new battery. This will be the third battery in 2 years. The first was a YUASA. It lasted 7 months. Next a AGM battery from Batteries Plus. It lasted 11 months. The bike started and ran great for those 11 months. One day I went out to go for a ride and it was dead. I hooked my charger up to it and it would not hold a charge. My first reacton was to blame the battery, But I was reading a post that stated the charging system should not produce more than 14.5 volts. Mine produces 15.2 volts. I figured the higher volage may have damaged the battery. So I assumed the rectifier is bad. I purchased a used rectifier on ebay and installed it. With the new used rectifier it still produces 15.2 volts. I realize that the neew used one may not be any better than my old used one, but before I go chasing after another rectifier I thought I should check in with you folks in Classic Goldwing Land. The other thing is I removed the 3 wire plug and soldered the wires like is reccommended, but those 3 wires get pretty warm when the engine is running. So there you go . I"m open to suggestions
