Voltage of battery

There are several possible reasons why the battery on your 1997 Triumph Daytona 955i may not be charging while you are riding it:

1. The battery may be faulty. If the battery is not holding a charge or is not functioning properly, it will not be able to charge while you are riding the motorcycle.
2. The charging system may malfunction. The charging system is responsible for supplying power to the battery while the motorcycle is running. If the charging system is not functioning properly, the battery will not be able to charge.
3. The voltage regulator may be malfunctioning. The voltage regulator is a component of the charging system that regulates the voltage supplied to the battery. If the voltage regulator is not functioning properly, the battery may not be able to charge.
4. The battery cables or connections may be loose or damaged. If the battery cables or connections are loose or damaged, the battery will not be able to receive a charge.

To troubleshoot the problem, you should start by checking the battery to see if it is functioning properly. If the battery is not the issue, you will need to check the charging system and voltage regulator to see if they are functioning properly. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you have the motorcycle inspected by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repairs.

alternator not charging or voltage regulator problem
13 volts is normal good fully charged battery voltage and charging voltage is 14.5-14.8 volts dc

to charge a battery the charging voltage has to exceed the total battery voltage or the charging current cannot flow -(12 volt batteries charge at 14.5-14.8 volts)
At this point I would say the the battery voltage is 1.3 -1.5 volts charged so it would appear right
the full battery voltage is on the side of the battery so that will give you an idea

Charging voltage has to be greater than battery voltage. If so, it is reaching the battery? If so, the battery has to charge unless it is defective.

According to this charging system isn't working correctly ! This is a computer controlled charging system .
Principles of Operation
The powertrain control module (PCM) controlled charging system determines the optimal voltage setpoint for the charging system and communicates this information to the voltage regulator. This system is unique in that it has 2 unidirectional communication lines between the PCM and the generator/regulator. Both of these communication lines are pulse-width modulated (PWM). The generator communication (GEN COM) line communicates the desired setpoint from the PCM to the voltage regulator. The generator monitor (GEN MON) line communicates the generator load and error conditions to the PCM. The third pin on the voltage regulator, the A circuit pin, is a dedicated battery voltage sense line.
The charging system voltage is controlled by the PCM. The generator charges the battery and at the same time supplies power for all of the electrical loads that are required. The battery is more effectively charged with a higher voltage when the battery is cold and a lower voltage when the battery is warm. The PCM is able to adjust the charging voltage according to the battery temperature by using a signal from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor. This means the voltage setpoint is calculated by the PCM and communicated to the regulator by a communication link.
The PCM simultaneously controls and monitors the output of the generator. When the current consumption is high or the battery is discharged (the PCM recognizes this and increases the output of the generator to accommodate), the system is also able to increase the idle speed to increase the charge.
To minimize the engine drag when starting the engine, the PCM does not allow the generator to produce any output until the engine has started. The PCM then progressively increases the output of the generator.
The PCM turns the charging system warning indicator off after the engine is started and illuminates it under fault conditions (when the generator is not generating the correct amount of current with the engine running). The charging system warning indicator is also illuminated by the PCM whenever the key is ON with the engine OFF.
This is a System 4 charging system, which uses the GEN MON and GEN COM lines to control and monitor the charging system through the PCM. System 4 charging systems are virtually identical in design and therefore, share the same diagnostics. The circuit numbers and colors may be different, but the functions are the same.

The light will come on if it over charges too ! all vehicles have computer controlled charging system now a days !
Regulated Voltage Control Explained Regulated Voltage Control uses information from the battery current sensor, calculated battery temperature and system voltage to determine what the perfect voltage to supply the battery with is. In addition to nurturing the battery into longer life by maintaining proper state of charge, RVC allows the charging voltage to drop below the 13.8 to 14.8 volts to which we're all accustomed. If the battery can maintain an 80% SOC with 13 volts at a particular temperature, why would we want to charge it at 14.8 volts?

Check the voltage and currrent factor of the battery charging circuit. Use a multimeter in voltage during charging and in series to the battery using a jumper to see the current to the battery. If the charge voltage currrent is good then the battery is faulty , if not the charging circuit must be checked.

The fully charged battery voltage should be 12 volts.If its low then car will have starting problems.If there is no voltage then car will not start.In case if there is no voltage to the battery,then either is dead/faulty battery or the battery is drained.If it shows no voltage or low voltage,then get you battery charged at local car garage. ------- If its not getting charged at car garage then battery is faulty and it has to be replaced.------------This will help.Thanks . Helpmech.

If the battery is not damaged or totally dead, you can attempt to charge it with any
24-Volt DC charger. The charging voltage rises to about 28 Volts when nothing is
connected to the charger. You must first connect (with jumper leads) the positive
charger output to the positive battery terminal. Use a test meter to determine the
polarity of the battery. Also test the charger output to determine the polarity. Be
sure to connect positive to positive and negative to negative. Do this before turning
on the power to the charger. If the battery is a "smart" battery; that is with built-in
electronic control circuit, the ordinary charger may not work. Normally, a battery
will accept a charge until it is nearly completely charged and then the battery
voltage will slowly "buck" the charging voltage. When the battery voltage and the
charging voltage are equal, no more charging current will flow. Amperes, that is
coulombs of current, charge the battery; when the battery is at (approximately) 24
volts and the charger is putting out 24 volts, NO current flows. The battery is then
fully charged.

Hai dud,
A battery maintenance system for charging, analyzing, discharging and conditioning of a NiCad battery. The system displays voltage and capacity to determine whether or not a NiCad battery has enough capacity to power equipment for an optimal time period. The system charges the battery using a negative delta voltage method of detecting full charge, while also displaying instantaneous battery voltage. The system also analyzes the battery in a charge, discharge and recharge mode of operation, and during the charge mode the instantaneous voltage is displayed. The discharge mode discharges the battery to one volt per cell while displaying voltage and accumulative capacity alternately. The system also conditions batteries by cycling a battery through three cycles of charging, discharging and a subsequent recharge cycle.
