The charging system includes a battery, a generator with integrated voltage regulator and a charging system indicator light and related circuitry. The generator has six built-in diodes (three positive and three negative), each rectifying AC current to DC current. Therefore, DC current appears at generator "B" terminal.

- The maintenance-free battery is, as the name implies, totally maintenance free and has no removable battery cell caps.
- Water never needs to be added to the maintenance-free battery.
- The battery is completely sealed, except for small vent holes in the cover. (Scheme 2)
Additionally, the generator charging voltage is regulated by the battery voltage detection system. The main components of the generator are the rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor brushes, bearings and V-ribbed belt pulley. The brush holder contains a built-in electronic voltage regulator.
