Rick’s Motorsport Electrics answers your questions about if and why you need to upgrade your motorcycle rectifier or regulator when you’re running on a lithium ion battery:

Rick’s Motorsport Electrics offers a range of rectifiers and regulators that are designed to work with these types of batteries. Without voltage compatibilitiy between these essential parts, your motorcycle’s battery can be quickly damaged.
