Honda CG 125 Indicator Relay Issue

[Easy-X]

AFAIK Lithium batteries are intended for modern bikes with consistent charging systems.

On older, simpler bikes a lead acid battery is an active part of the power regulation system the properties of which the manufacturers exploited to keep the component costs down.

According to the site, this is what you should be using:

But if you were hankering for something smaller then this:

https://bs-battery.com/product/bt4b-bs/

would be a closer match than the sealed AGM battery you previously linked.

Always a good starting point is to try and render a bike back to the "factory defaults" get everything running satisfactorily to set a base line and only then start modding in the clever ideas

You'd be pretty unlucky if the battery went pop but more likely the rest of the bike's electrics are hoping for the battery to behave in a certain way. Maybe some lightbulbs pop or the stator burns out, no biggie

Any chance you could beg/borrow/steal a conventional lead-acid battery? Not to fit, just to loosely wire up and test everything works. e.g. "Great! My lights and indicators now work as expected, charging looks good at idle and some revs..." the base line I was talking about. Sub in the sealed unit after and if all sorts of weird shit happens at least you can go "whelp, it worked with the other battery."

Battery you posted should work fine. Important considerations are size: will it fit in your battery box? and terminal configuration i.e. positive right and negative left. Get the wrong terminal configuration and your cables won't connect.

In this video he used a SLA battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYiR6FZJAAE . Probably this kind of batteries will work fine

It's odd. The first time I clicked your initial link, it took me to a lithium battery.

Those should work. I didn't find they lasted long on my enfield bullet but it produces some HEAVY vibration and I think it damaged the plates. Only other issue I'd flag is the spade terminals have a habit of coming off. I landed up soldering mine on.
