I noticed that no one has answered your question, and I don't think I am going to be able to answer it either. However, with your current set-up, you will need the battery to be charged for the electrical system to work. This is because the rectifier/regulator consumes power from the battery in order to do its work. If the battery is flat, the rectifier/regulator will not be able to charge the battery.

Have you tried fitting a charged battery? Did it work? Did the battery go flat while it was parked?

If the battery went flat when it was parked, this could be an issue with the ignition switch. The electrical system needs a switch to isolate the battery from the rectifier/regulator as this continues to consume electicity even when the engine is switched off.

However, if you want to dump the battery for other reasons, you might do well to fit a 12volt AC electronic ignition suitable for your SX-style crank. There would need to be small alterations to the wiring loom, and the horn would need to be changed. The indicators would not work either.

As you can see, the answer depends on your question........ Post again and let us know what you are planning.

Ok, thanks for your answer.
I thought that was something more easy to quit battery.
I only want to quit the battery because i think that is the easy way to have light, horn, ...
I must try with a charged battery.
I think that the battery go flat while it was parked. I am not sure, because is a Lambretta that have buy a friend, and he want that i do a basic maintenance.
Maybe the Lambretta was parked with the switch on, and the battery go flat.
I have a battery charger for 12v battery, can i use to see if the battery charge? the battery of the Lambretta is 6v one. And if i put this charger, when the charger connected, the lights should operate?
Thanks!

have only worked on a couple of std wired Spanish scoots. but I have used the rectifiers on some of the lighting conversions I have done in the past and as mentioned the Motoplat system uses whats sometimes refered to as an Energised Rectifier that is it needs a voltage to operate. So as mentioned above a fully charged battery or no dc current will flow... sorry, I missed your post earlier.

DONT USE THE 12 VOLT CHARGER. it wont do your battery any good...

and reliable.

OK, i know that this is a good change, but, if i can to put a new 6v battery and go, i prefer.
J1MS i one friend have a 6v battery charger. If i connect to the battery, with this charger connected everything must go well?
Thanks!
