tarat Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 hi all . newbie here. my banshee will not charge the battery enough to run lights . it was modded with an extra wire on the stator and a regulator rectifier but its not charging enough. there is only 2 to 3 volts coming from the stator wires . i rang a breakers and they said they had tzr electrics which it might be possible to put in and get better than standard charging . so i have all the tzr bits now. the stator itself is the same diameter and has same mounting hole pattern and will bolt onto the plate. it might be touching the standard flywheel off the face of stator but i can deal with that . will the tzr stator work with the banshee brain or do i need the tzr one in it ?, any idea on how to wire it up or where i could get wiring diagrams. has anyone done this before ? it sounds like a lot of effort but i would really like better charging . thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I can't tell you it'll work or not with out seeing the way they're wired. However if you find a diagram of what you have and cross reference it with the Banshee wiring diagrams here in the Technical section. It's possible you may be able to splice your OEM plugs on to the new unit. You can get the pins out using a pic tool to pop the clips holding each pin. In my opinion, you'd be way ahead ordering a new banshee stator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowit Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I think before going too extreme, I would disconnect the regulator AND all the lights and see what voltage is produced. Without a regulator, the voltage will fluctuate with rpm but should run up to 30V or more. If you are still only seeing 2-3V, ensure the ground and leads are good. It is possible that the regulator is shorted to ground and dumping all your power to chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 A lot of D.C. Converted shees run a 200 watt stator. Like blowit stated , could be a faulty part , could be wired wrong to begin with. Battery could be funky also. What lights are you running. With all the cheap led technology out there now I can't see you having any problem with stock components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I been reading oem are best. Now most run 200w stator with a DC conversion? OK then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarat Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 what does the dc conversion actually achieve ?, surely if it was ac the regulator rectifier converts it to dc anyway or am i missing something? where is best to buy a stator in uk?

blowit Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 The OE system in a Banshee is a regulator only and stays AC. Typically for LED lights you will either need DC conversion or some lights have internal DC rectifiers. Running an LED on AC is not a good idea. For AC, you will want to stay with resistive lights like OE Halogens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialblend07 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 All you need is a AC - DC rectifier. They're like $20. Don't let anyone tell you they don't work. They do. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/power-supplies/12v-ac-to-dc-converter-module/1725/4134/?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=base&utm_content=LVC-12ACDC-3A&utm_campaign=GoogleBaseChild&gclid=Cj0KCQiAjO_QBRC4ARIsAD2FsXNAw28LQFKlTbjCjtJ7o8_PXZU5s0ls_MhKHfSp4rJRnDVu1lEWfSgaAlhZEALw_wcB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
