A faulty vehicle regulator is typically only found “after it has caused damage”.

The inbuilt over voltage alert feature can help by notifying you of a problem, before the repair bill hits you.

This feature sees more “thankyou” responses from motorbike owners, where such faults occur more often.

Over voltage will cause the battery to boil (permanent damage), light bulbs to fail (including headlights) and in some case electronics to fail (instruments, engine control units etc…). Having seen the results of this on many occasions, it was a worthy addition to the feature set.
