"Battery keeps dying" 2007 M695

[WednesdaysChild]

I tested the diodes on the regulator/rectifier and they tested good on both the new regulator and my old one.
I ran another test on the stator output this time at 5K rpms and get 50-60Vac but nothing DC through the reg/rec. I am stumped. The place I bought it said if the diodes test good then the problem is not with the regulator/rectifier unit. They said when the unit fails it is usually the diodes and not the regulator circuit and that it is not easy to test the circuit without special equipment. But where the regulator circuit controls the output voltage it still sounds suspect to me.

Any ideas on how to know for sure if the problem is the stator.

If you're getting 50V AC from the stator at 5K RPM, then it's fine.  The issue is with your rectifier/regulator, or with the wiring from it to the battery.

Just curious, did you check the 30 amp fuse that is next to the battery?

Thanks for the replies,

I did check the 30a fuse as well as all the others. They are all good.

I had the shop trouble shoot mine since it was still under warranty by two weeks. They measured the output of everything and found that the stator was just under the limit. It took me going back twice for them to find this though.

I have the same problem a few months back, changed out the stator and it fixed the problem..

What did the stator replacement set you back, mine is past warranty unfortunately.
