Rectifier

[Ralphieb]

I have a 2002 model 30 HP CV (2cyl) Yamaha which has a lighting coil but no rectifier. The factory accessory appears to be only a rectifier with no regulator and is rather expensive. I am wondering if I can wire up a normal bridge rectifier (10 amp job) from an old power supply via a fuse to charge my battery?<br />Thanks Ralphieb

most likly. I would not see why not. as long as it can handle the heaat. most those systems are unregulated anyway on the little motors.

It will work just fine. If worried about heat, a small heat sink is available at Radio Shack or any electronics salvage shop.

Thanks guys. I havea rectifier with a heat sink attatched and I am going to encapsulate it in resin. Should save a few bucks.<br />Thanks
