Re: 6V to 12v Conversions REGULATOR
Does anyone know the difference between a moose voltage regulator and a rectifier with a zener diode?
You are mixing stuff up' Your stator is an AC generator, it generates alternating current, because you can't charge a battery with AC, you must add a rectifier to convert AC to DC, no battery, no rectifier needed. So we have dispensed with the rectifier. Now you are asking:

A zener diode costs about $3 (in the wattages you see in a scooter/moped situation), screw it to a piece of aluminum for another $2, say $5 in total. A Moose regulator costs about $29. So, in this case the difference is $24.
