2022 PCX Alternator Output

Post by airhead83 »

Just that. Can anyone tell me what the PCX's rated alternator output is?
Apologies if I missed it in previous discussions, but I tried and failed to get a definitive answer.
I wouldn't think much, but enough to carry heated Oxford grips and a heated vest would be helpful.

No issues with that at all. I have a 65watt headed jacket and it doesn't even notice it when its plugged in.

Awesome. Heated grips and vest are all I need. Additional electronics, not so much... my 15-year-old flip-phone doesn't require much. ;)

Once you start to add stuff like amplifiers for sound systems and stuff like that you might to start having issues. But heated grips and vest is no problem.

I would still recommend if possible to keep it on a tender as much as possible. Keep that Battery nice and healthy.

I have the honda grips fitted from new on my 2021 (current model) and also run a gopro and a phone charger and have done for 3 years nearly. It's never missed a beat

I have the PCX from 2011 and I connected it to an existing plug below the pressure gauges, I connected the 12v LED kit, 35wx2 6000k, and the Oxford heated grips... I also have the 4 flashing button on this model connected to that same plug. I haven't had stress until today.

Per Helm's 2025 Honda PCX's Service Manual:
The 2025 Honda PCX has a triple-phase alternator with an output of.67KW @ 5000rpm. That should convert to 670-Watt capacity.
I'm skeptical. Are my conversions wrong or am I overlooking something else?
My 2024 Suzuki GSX250R's service manual listed an output capacity of 400-Watts at 5000 rpm.
I had zero riding all winter with heated grips, heated vest, and front auxiliary LED lighting.
Since there were no major changes for the 2025 model, I'm inclined to believe all reasonably current PCX models use the same charging systems.
If 670-watts is correct, I'm pleased.

Sorry... I had 'zero problems' riding all winter with heated grips, heated vest, and front auxiliary LED lighting.
