Suzuki drz 400E Service Manual

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 7-7
CHARGING SYSTEM (DR-Z400E)
DESCRIPTION
The charging system consists of a generator, regulator/rectifier, and battery. The AC current, which is gener-
ated by the generator, is converted by the regulator/rectifier into DC current. The regulator/rectifier is one
unit with two functions. The regulator prevents overcharging of the battery by grounding the excessive AC
current. The rectifier changes the AC current, which is produced by the generator, to the DC current.
All of these components work together to maintain a correct and constant voltage and to prevent the battery
from overcharging.
