Common questions
What exactly is a 'no-battery' regulator and when is it used?
A no-battery regulator is designed to manage charging voltage directly from the alternator without the buffering effect of a battery. It's typically used on older V-twin motorcycles or minimalist custom builds where a battery is intentionally not installed.
Can I use this regulator if my Harley-Davidson has a battery?
No, this Cycle Electric regulator is specifically designed for no-battery electrical systems. If your motorcycle uses a battery, you will need a standard voltage regulator.
Will this regulator work with my existing V-twin alternator?
Yes, this regulator is designed to work effectively with standard V-twin alternators, controlling the output voltage to protect your electrical components in a no-battery setup.
