A trickle charger usually operates at around 2 amps and it is going to take a long time to charge up your 12 volt car battery (read our full guide here). This is a passable temporary fix, but if you start the bike this way, you should monitor the battery's voltage after riding it for a while. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons that batteries die out quickly requiring costly replacement. My friend has a 1988 Honda Shadow vt1100 and the battery does not charge while running. As long as the engine is on, the alternator will keep on charging the battery. The alternator will charge the car’s battery by providing it with electricity. When you're done charging, unplug the battery from the charger and put it back into your motorcycle. The battery charges while idling, but like "greenmeany1" stated; it's hard to charge it while idling because of low amps from the alternator. When it's snowbound and I can't get it on the road for several weeks, I"ll start it up and let run it for a while (usually about 20 minutes) just to keep the juices flowing, so to speak. It can take as long as 24 hours to get the battery up to an acceptable charge, depending on how depleted your battery is when you start charging.

You can test the alternator by starting the car and disconnecting the batery. The mechanism of a motorcycle does charge it’s own battery while the motorcycle is running. The alternator should be able to charge a battery at an idle. Overloading the battery with too many accessories greatly reduces its lifespan. if all the electrics (lights, heated screem, etc) are off then just idling it will charge the battery. The good news is that yes your car battery will charge when idling.

There is a device inside a motorcycle engine, usually referred to as a stator, that charges the motorcycle battery while the motorcycle is on.
So, does a motorcycle battery charge while riding? Not knowing the make/model or the actual circumstances, this is a mostly generic troubleshooting guide.

Does a motorcycle battery charge while idling? While some chargers will tell you when your battery is ready, you might have to perform a voltage test to see when the battery is done charging. I have 15 year old bikes with the original battery still in them. However there are some with the wrong sized pulleys, electrical issues, design flaws, and/or too low idle speeds to give the battery a meaningful charge while the engine is idling. The guy who helped me theorized that it was a stator issue and that the bike had been running off the battery instead of the alternator power. The “Resources” link explains how to jump start a motorcycle with a dead battery.
