    I tried this RR for the first time, I didnt even get any voltage when not connected to Batt. I thought its a faulty one and tried a new one and its also showing the same. But once I touched the RR out to the batt +ve, it sparked, then i got the idea. It should be connected to the batt directly. I just connected it to the batt, and measured the voltage its 14.5 max and its the voltage we need. But how come, u get a 50V when the connection is isolated? That means RR could be faulty?

    I've connected the RR out directly to the batt, and took all the loads through a 20A fuse, except the relay powering wires and indicators are from the ign switch.

    But when I connect to battery I get around 12-13v max
    And nowadays battery drains out on long run with Hi-Beam i.e 60w ON for 3 hours +. Thou its marginally better than before. My suspect is the sealed Amaron battery, will try it with stock 7aH AMCO.

      Man, u need to rewind to use a higher watt halo, ur charging rate is not enhanced to support long rides with a halo, thatz why the batt depletes. Changing the RR means, whatever gets from the coil transfers to the batt, but its (ur coil) supposed to feed only 35W only. Got it? Dont expect miracles out of puny coil

      Found the problems?

                • Alright, shall create a new thread with log

                  Regarding electrical problems, i ve no clue why it happened. It never reoccured and now am running HID so charging rate is not a problem I guess. Since yesterday am using it.

                      Frankly speaking I was happy with my Osram NB. Its no way comparable to 90/100w dude. Don't waste money on this junk. Only thing is, it consumes 35w power and emits almost same as 90/100w

                      Am using without projector and I am no very happy with the light wasting everywhere. I may put a round light to get a much focused light. Let me see. Not sure.

                            • I could figure out the problem finally !!!

                              It is the battery which has went for toss and playing weird .
                              There is no continuity between 2 terminals of the battery itself . Sometimes it is there, sometimes it is not there. Yuck !! I never experienced such problem. Is it bcz of battery over charge, the battery cells went for toss!!! I ve to wait till next weekend for replacement or whatever

                              Rahul, am not happy with HID at all. I would say 100w Halogen in stock reflector sounds better.

                              • ^Or maybe the terminals are loose inside the battery.
