To change the battery on a HYOSUNG COMET 125, follow these steps:
1. Check for Damage: Inspect the battery container. If there are cracks or electrolyte leaks, replace the battery.
2. Clean Terminals: If terminals are rusty or have a white powdery substance, clean them using sandpaper.
3. Remove Old Battery: - Disconnect the battery terminals. - Carefully remove the battery from its compartment.
4. Install New Battery: - Fill the new battery with electrolyte as required. - Tap the bottom two or three times to remove air bubbles. - Remove empty electrolyte containers slowly to avoid vapor release. - Insert caps firmly into the filler holes so they are flush with the battery top.
5. Check Voltage: - Measure voltage with a pocket tester. - If below 12.0V DC, recharge the battery.
6. Reconnect: Connect the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
7. Check Charging System: - Start the engine and run at 5,000 rpm. - Measure DC voltage at the battery; it should be between 14.0–15.0V. - If not, check the magneto and regulator/rectifier.
Replace the battery if it's sulfated, has been unused in cold climate, or cannot hold charge.

5-7 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHARGING SYSTEM The circuit of the charging system is indicated in figure, which is composed of the AC generator, regulator / rec- tifier unit and battery. The AC current generated from the AC generator is converted by the rectifier and is turned into the DC current, then it charges the battery.
Page 110
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 5-8 When the engine rpm become higher, the generated voltage of the AC generator also becomes higher and the voltage between points of the regulator according becomes high, and when it reaches the adjusted voltage of the control unit, consequently the control unit becomes ON condition. On the ON condition of the control unit, signal will be sent to the SCR (Thyristor) gate probe and SCR will become ON condition.

Questions and answers
how do i change the battery
To change the battery on a HYOSUNG COMET 125, follow these steps:
1. Check for Damage: Inspect the battery container. If there are cracks or electrolyte leaks, replace the battery.
2. Clean Terminals: If terminals are rusty or have a white powdery substance, clean them using sandpaper.
3. Remove Old Battery:
- Disconnect the battery terminals.
- Carefully remove the battery from its compartment.
4. Install New Battery:
- Fill the new battery with electrolyte as required.
- Tap the bottom two or three times to remove air bubbles.
- Remove empty electrolyte containers slowly to avoid vapor release.
- Insert caps firmly into the filler holes so they are flush with the battery top.
5. Check Voltage:
- Measure voltage with a pocket tester.
- If below 12.0V DC, recharge the battery.
6. Reconnect: Connect the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
7. Check Charging System:
- Start the engine and run at 5,000 rpm.
- Measure DC voltage at the battery; it should be between 14.0–15.0V.
- If not, check the magneto and regulator/rectifier.
Replace the battery if it's sulfated, has been unused in cold climate, or cannot hold charge.
