Battery Recharging System:
No voltage:
1. Battery cable fallen or disconnected.
2. Fuse fused.
3. Defective of flywheel magneto.
4. Excessive battery discharging:
a. Electrolyte leaked.
b. Chemical reaction in battery.
c. Short circuit in battery.
d.
Defective rectifier. Low voltage:
1. Insufficient recharging.
2. Leaking of electrolyte.
3. Defective separator causing short circuit between positive and negative plates.
4. Defective battery terminals.
5. Defective recharging system.
6.
Defective rectifier.
Too low capacity:
1. Insufficient recharging(See Below).
2. Pole plates react with sulfuric acid.
3. Insufficient electrolyte.
4. Active matter fallen from pole plates because of excessive recharging.
Inefficient recharging system:
1. Bad contact at connectors, short circuitry, or broken circuit.
2.
Defective rectifier.3. Defective of flywheel magneto.
a. Armature winding short circuited or broken.
b. Magneto coil short circuited or broken.
