DIY HID - All About High Intensity Discharge

[Guest nE0]

The battery is only used to power the motor to start the bike. After that, the bike's alternator takes over.

 

Try to find the rating for your bike's alternator. Do not overload it or it will be very very expensive

mr neo, u mean the stator motor is it

 

it pumps out 495w at 5,000rpm. Tat is y i duno whether the battery can take it or not

 

4hids means 35w x 4=140w

I worry abt the initial start up, very high power consumption

[Guest nE0]

Why would you turn on all 4 HIDs together?

 

My advice is, turn on your HIDs awhile after you've started your bike, not immediately, so your battery has a chance to re-charge before supplying the initial surge of electricity required for the HIDs.

 

Also, wire the relay directly to your battery should help.

 

9Amp hours means it can supply one amp for 9 hours, or 9 amps for one hour. But automotive batteries also have a "maximum starting current" rating, which can be anything as high as 300amps for the initial surge of power required by the starter. It can provide more power than you think, so don't worry about it

Nice info upz

yo! i wana ask the HIDs experts here. I'm currently using a 9amp battery for my bikey. Currently i have already install 2 HIDs.

 

Does my battery has the capacity to install in another 2HIDs

also check headlight fuse if HID doesnt work

i still have not install my HIDs yet, still caluclating whether possible without not overload the electrical system or not. Cos if any problem happen rectify will be very high cost

hi paiseh, as promise, here are the photos showing comparison the colour of my 5000k & 3000k HIDs. The 3000k very much resembles normal car halogen light, where else my 5000k still looks bluish. Which is the reason y i realise the 3000k is more practical & useful for illumination on NSHW at nite. Cos the yellow beam can throw further then white.

i still have a spare set of new H7 3000K HIDs, letting go at $280. If anybody wan just pm me loh! Sorry the cost is abit high cos the yellow bulb is very rare. I now myself looking for a H4 3000K to replace my right side also. But till now no luck

[dinie]

can i put two batts in parallel on my bike and have the bike charge both at the same time? so tt i can support high current devices like HIDs and stuff.

[paiseh]

I have asked this b4 and i tink someone told me it will overcharge the battery. im not too sure abt this but i know in thailand,

 

racing cubs put 2 batteries in // to race. i also nono y

your camera quality very good

 

the yellow color looks very much like the fog lamp color. dun really look like halogen bulbs's color.

 

maybe its on pic. real life could be different.
