Charging System Inspections; Current Loss At The Battery; Regulated Voltage - Husqvarna 2011 TE 630 Workshop Manual

CHARGING SYSTEM INSPECTIONS

Current loss at the battery

Remove the saddle (as described in the relevant section) to gain access to
the battery.
Disconnect the BLUE negative cable from the battery.
Measure current across the negative terminal of the battery and the negative
cable using a meter. A reading greater than 1 mA indicates current loss.
If the vehicle is to remain unused for long periods, it is recommended
to disconnect the battery from the electrical system and store it in a
dry place.

Regulated voltage

Remove the saddle (as described in the relevant section) to gain access to
the battery.
With the engine warmed up and running at slightly above 3000 rpm, measure
voltage across the positive and negative terminal of the battery using a meter
(the battery must be charged when performing this test). If reading is outside a
12.5-15.1 V range, check generator and voltage regulator/rectifier as descri-
bed in the relevant paragraph.
