Do I have to worry about my battery being over charged now that I have doubled my amperage output?

The alternator has a built in regulator, no need to worry about overcharging the battery.

The alternator has an internal voltage regulator that controls the charging process according to the needs of your battery and your bike's electrical system. It will not overcharge the battery.

It is recommended that you use a maintenance-free absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery. Lead-acid batteries can boil over if they're too discharged. Current is pulled, not pushed, so normally you'll be ok. A poor lead-acid battery could boil over from rapid charging.

No, you do not. It is recommended to install an AGM type battery with this excellent alternator but, not necessary. Any excess current is shunted away from the charging circuit. Same as with your original battery which also over-produced at higher RPMs.

I don't recall reading anything that warns you about overcharging. It plugs into the usb port of your computer and charges rather quickly. I have left it plugged in after it was fully charged and it didn't cause any problem that I am aware of.

It doesn't matter that much, lithium ion batteries always have a controller, anything else would be dangerous, it shouldn't be more than an hour or a few more, in any case theres no risk of damaging it from "overcharging".

It would sound like it might be overloaded but i can't tell without knowing how many watts you are putting in or pulling off the load terminals. Also wondering if you have the proper fuses installed in your system

I don't know the answer to this question. Sorry. I just plug mine in for a few hours and have never been concerned about over-charging it. The first one I had lasted for several years before it finally died--probably from dropping it too much.

You may way want to buy a charge controller to keep the battery from overcharging.

You need to run thru a charge controller of some sort in either case to prevent overcharging.

That's what I've done. I don't know that it "doubles" the usage time but certainly extends it. I also periodically use a battery charger to "boost" the batteries.

You are more likely to over charge the battery with a 12 volt unit. Just ensure the whole solar array is in the sunlight for optimal charging.

Yes this is the same, (I think the difference is in the amperage, you might want to double check that) Sorry to take so long

I would not expect to see it lose charge for one or two weeks. But if you are at home, just leave it plugged in. The circuits will protect it, it will not overcharge.

I'd look in the manual for something saying "It will not overcharge if left plugged in". If you can't find such, then I'd plug it in and check the voltage on the battery every hour for 4-6 hours. If the voltage never goes above ~14.5V everything's fine, but if you see 15V or higher then you're "overcharging" and want to pull the plug.Another option to consider if you like the idea of keeping it "freshly charged" would be to put it on a timer that comes on for 15-30 minutes each day, but isn't on 24/7.

Does the digital reading show you a full charge? Is whatever you are plugging in drawing too many amps?

The overcharge protection is part of the device being charged, not the charger/power source. It won't keep your auto repair shop or insurance agent from overcharging you!

No, the battery cannot be overcharged. But I would not leave it on 'charge' indefinitely.

No, Anything over a 5w panel and you want to run it through a charge controller first. You risk overcharging a battery (which will eventually kill it) if you don't, even 5w is pushing it unless its a 70ah+ size battery and it has a constant small draw from it (Like in a car where electronics are being run even when the car is off)

Dude just charge it until the meter reads full it will not hurt your batteries. Joe
