Laverda RGS Battery

[Ventodue]

can I assume my ND alternator from a Kwaka GPX1000 running on my SF is one of these 'modern charging systems'? It's fully self-contained, reg part of the internals, just two wires to plug into the battery.

Lithium batteries don't like getting too high a re-charge voltage - they heat up and, in extremis, have been known to catch fire/explode  .

The old type of reg/recs that use a SCR as the switch to ground are (relatively) slow to react - the current needs to be (relatively) high before they switch - and they can pass recharge voltages as high as 15v.  A modern reg using a MOSFET to do the switching will react quicker under less current and should stop short of this.

But I can't say for your Kwacker system ...  So in the end, I'm not a lot of help (insert 'Bl**ding Useless' smiley)

And so is my modern voltage regulator made by the now passed away great guy mr. Erik Schnabel. And I use a Shorai charger in the special charging port on the battery, so each cell is measured and recharged. The Ctek does not do that.
I do have a few ctek chargers for other purposes.
It's true that a LiIon can relatively easy become unstable and catch fire or explode, but is mostly seen on chinese made crap R/C batteries.
The shorai LiFe is exactly not a LiIon in it's ordinary installment. It's is far more safe according to the Danish importer (now defunct).
The rest of their storage is sold by a guy I know WHO bought it all, and are selling them for quite good prices (small model only).
They can be ordered via UK for europe and otherwise in the USA, but there are now Laws against the transportation of batteries... Argh. the ec being a blockage as usual. What on earth whall we continue having that pos for?

Anyway, highly recommend my own shorai and it's charger.
AGM, I recommend Techno. Works very well too.

Kind regards,
