1966 Honda CB160 · Charging System Buying guide

Match a charging unit to the intended battery

These are combination rectifier/regulator choices for charging work. Compare battery compatibility first, then the installation details. A similar-looking unit is not a substitute for matching the intended battery and the connections on the motorcycle.

Battery-specific charging options

Honda CB Hot Shot Rectifier / Regulator ~ Replaces 31400-292-670 Lead-acid Hot Shot rectifier/regulatorFor standard lead-acid batteries only. A combination rectifier/regulator for the listed 1966 CB160 application; do not use it with a lithium-ion battery.View part Honda CB Hot Shot Rectifier/Regulator ~ Lithium Ion Battery Compatible Lithium-ion Hot Shot rectifier/regulatorLithium-ion version with a 14 V ±0.2 set point and a 54 × 57 × 35 mm body. Check that set point against your battery’s charging requirements.View part

Plan around the battery you will keep

If a battery change is part of the work, decide on its specification before choosing the charging unit. The lead-acid Hot Shot is restricted to standard lead-acid batteries. The lithium-ion version requires separate confirmation against the particular battery manufacturer’s charging requirements.

Check room for the unit and its connections

The lithium-ion unit measures 54 mm long, 57 mm wide and 35 mm high. Compare that body size with the intended location, then review its mounting and connection instructions. Those dimensions do not establish connector compatibility or the clearance needed for the leads.

Charging-system buying questions

What charging voltage does the lithium-ion version specify?

Its voltage set point is 14 V ±0.2. Compare that specification with the requirements for your particular lithium-ion battery before ordering; the lithium designation alone does not establish suitability for every battery.

How much space should I check for the lithium-ion unit?

Its body measures 54 × 57 × 35 mm. Check those dimensions at the intended mounting location and consult the unit’s instructions for its mounting and leads; body dimensions alone do not define installation clearance.

Are these units intended to replace the rectifier and regulator together?

They are combination rectifier/regulator units. Choose the battery-specific version and follow its installation instructions for the charging system fitted to the bike, particularly if the harness or charging components have previously been changed.
