The motorcycle industry is always adding new twists and turns, and here at Rick\u2019s Motorsport Electrics we\u2019re always trying to keep up with the latest trends to bring the best products and services for today\u2019s motorsports market. One area that has become very popular is the use of lithium-ion batteries on motorcycles, dirt bikes, and ATVs, especially vintage restoration projects. Lith-ion batteries are not always compatible with an OEM (or OEM-style) rectifier\/regulator. A rec\/reg that is designed to produce a voltage of 14.5 volts DC (Vdc) across the battery terminals works great with a lead-acid battery. However, that same regulator may exceed the design parameters of a lithium-ion battery in regard to its charging voltage.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/14-135H_logo-300x200.jpg\"){kind=logo}
There are many possibilities of how a lithium-ion battery can be a terrific addition to a motorcycle build, or a mod to a bike. To keep those batteries charged will require a rectifier regulator, just like any other battery. But you need one that\u2019s compatible and Rick\u2019s new line of rec\/regs are made for just this purpose. Like all of Rick\u2019s products (excluding CDI boxes) these rec\/regs carry a full 1-year replacement warranty, and Rick\u2019s support staff is always available to assist you with questions you may have. Below is the current list we have for the vintage market. These parts are already available on our website & through our many distributors, and we\u2019re continually adding new products. So if you have a machine we don\u2019t currently list a part for, email us at info@ricksmotorsportelectrics.com and we\u2019ll do our best to help!<\/p>\n
