Battery going dead

[ryanseadoo]

my 97 xp battery died today on the water. The battery is good and charged now. I started it up and can only get the battery ar 13.15v running at higher rpm. I checked the wiring and it all seems to be good. What next?

 

[kustomkarl]

It is the regulator/ rectifier. It needs to be replaced.

Yes, it is in the MPEM. Check out "Parts" link for a price.

Had same problem

Had the same problem with my 97 XP, turned out it was the rectifier. The rectifier has a clear coating you can see through and all I saw was mass amounts of corrosion. I think I payed $40 something for the replacement from Riva. Never had any more problems after the change. Always spray Sta-Lube or Wd-40 in the engine bay after getting her home and rinsed.

A $30,$40,$50 battery ain't going to cut it....I like powermaster batteries.

Another good one is Deka....I have a Deka in mine right now, little steep in price here in the states it is around $120.00 us, but well worth it.

Thanks custompartsguy, looking into them now. Struggling to find powermaster battries in the UK/Ireland. But will look around for both of them.

Thanks Again, you've been a great help.

I'm going to store the details of that battery. The price looks really good in relation to the exchange rate to sterling. Its the delivery which will be really expensive but in the long run will benefit me.

Thanks,
Joey
