Does anyone really know as opposed to speculation etc.
The permanent magnet / stator alternator in a bike makes near 80Volts AC.
This is delivered to the Regulator rectifier.
I think the AC wave is chopped at the 13 Volt about and heads to the bike
The rectifying is straight forward.
So what if anything happens to the remaining part of the wave from 14 to 80 Volts peak.
I won't waste time with the various theories I've heard
