Hello everyone. My question is about batteries and charging them. I have an early 350 with a 100w generator, my question I’m sure will be a simple one but does the size of battery fitted have any bearing on how much power it takes to charge it? I.e. if I fit a smaller battery will it give the generator an easier time! (You can probably tell now I don’t know much about electrics)
The reason I ask (just in case people are wondering) is my bike is fitted with an aftermarket ignition which runs off the battery and oh by the way just for info the bike currently has a 12ah battery fitted.
Also, will I’m asking questions here another, I have been chatting to a company who can rewind my generator with the intention of converting the now redundant ignition coil to a charging coil, which they say is no problem. So is there a way of calculating the output of the generator if I do this? Is it as simple as the old 5 coil charging system gives 100w therefore with 6 coils I get 120w??
Many thanks, Tony
