    If i am right, RX had a tiny 2.5aH battery and making DC setup on that will toss the battery.
    ===============================

    Well coming to my updates

    Couple of days back when i pressed the self a weird smoke came but from where!!! That i was able to rectify very late... Bcz of this smoke i was scared and removed my custom rectifier

    Later thou my battery was fully charged self stopped working completely, only then i came to know that wire connected to self (on top of starter motor) was lose and from there the smoke was coming.

    Now i am running on stock setup as i don't ve time to clean my bike properly But my battery is doing fine without any hiss even with lights on for longer duration.

      5 amps for a 35 w bulb
      rx has 2.5 ah battery only.... i dont mind buying a new battery
      my light is already very dim...... i really need a 55/60W setup i guess
      and also a steady illumination... not a fluctuating one ...
      but that is far i guess

      thanks

      And if you can run other lights on LEDs like I did, you can even run 60/55 without any problems.
      thanks
      but i dont know how to do it

      yea ur rite about the battery
      but what would happen in case its converted to dc
      please elaborate

      thanks

        can we just put a higher rating battery in the bike or we need to change wires and the coil etc

        all electrical gurus busy kya

          quality of wiring will decide wether you need to change your wiring od not. if you are going to run a 65 bulb than i guess you will need to change coil as well as wiringl but in xase of hid, the custom rectifier will be good enough no need for any wiring change.

            I am not sure we can use two rectifier to charge the battery. At any time no two rectifier work with identical voltage. Higher charging voltage will lead to battery explosion. The exact charging voltage is 14.4V. Is that possible to eliminate the original rectifier replaced with high power single rectifier.

              Hey Guys!

              Just read through this whole thread. Must say I'm very impressed with Rahul's ideas. Great job buddy .

              Now, I've recently been moved into the night shift at my place of work. That means either taking a company cab, or taking the bike. I have a 2.5 year old P150 UG3 which is in quite decent condition . It has been slightly modified with the stator plates from the Avenger and a 55/60W headlamp. Illumination is pretty decent but yeh dil maange more . I am considering taking the bike to work at night. So I want to spruce up the lighting

              So, I was thinking of getting the DC setup done and then perhaps plonking in the OSRAM Nightbreaker or an HID setup if budget permits :P. Trouble is I'm totally useless with circuits and electrical components.

              I tried to understand what has been done, but the technical terms kinda flew all over my head. I didn't understand what the relay switch was and how it can be made.

              Can someone please elucidate on it?

              I need a simplified wiring diagram if possible :P

              I'm sorry for being such a moron

              Hope you guys can help me with this.

              Thanks in advance.

              Sourav.

                Yeah they wont maintain exact same voltage. But that wont lead to any explosion. And exact voltage is above 13.8V. Not exactly 14.4. That depends on the bike manufacturers. The more it is above 13.8V the quicker it will charge. But the battery can overcharge and thus have a shorter battery life. If it is just 13.8V it will never overcharge, but charging will be slower. May lead to battery problem in stop n go traffic. So, it is a balancing act.

                  Thanks. I read somewhere the alternator charges the battery at 14.4V. Even the hero honda cd100 charges at 14.2V. I am curious to know is there any voltage regulator circuit available to limit the output to 12V for the electrical system apart from battery charging.

                    Yeah, 14.4V is somewhat like the industry standard.

                    Yeah circuits are available? What specifically do you want to do?

                        Yes you can, the same principal applies as mentioned in the thread, and please use lower case while replying.

                          Pulsar 180 horn circuit. On the highway Roots vibrosonic produces screeching sound above 7k rpm. So i want to limit the voltage to 12V.
                          Another bike is diesel bull sometimes I am getting 42V . 100/90W bulb glows like a plasma white and too much brightness. I am afraid i will go burst. Once the regulator warms up it comes down to 14V. I cant get new regulator for diesel bullet. It doesnot have battery

                            55W BULB IS OF MY CAR. LIGHT WAS AWESOME BT IT CONSUME WHOLE BETTERY IN 1 WEAK ONLY..
                            ANY SUGGESTION PLZZZ
