90% of the time a charging problem is the Voltage Rectifier/Regulator, not the stator.

EVERY time I have replaced a stator (which has only been three times, as stators are usually fine) I have also replaced the VRR.

Did you test the voltage at BATTERY WHILE RUNNING BEFORE you changed the stator? How did you conclude the stator was the issue?

After you replaced the stator, did you a) make sure you replaced the stator with THE SAME KIND OF STATOR you removed? Stators come in a few different configurations. b) did you replace the VRR with a VRR that is SPECIFICALLY FOR THE STATOR YOUR HAVE INSTALLED? VRRs are not all the same, you cannot use, for example, a 6 pole stator and an 11 pole VRR.
