Hey.........mate HIDs are all weather lightings - it will penetrate fog, but I dun think any lights can penetrate veri veri heavy fog condition. I have personally driven thru thick fog on Genting & the HID lights look like a "light sabre" cutting thru.

 

Pls read more abt HID system here -

limbat >>> what's the total cost for HID system for our Varas. for 2 bulbs and also for 1 bulb?

 

I have always advocate the use of onli 1 HID light in a dual headlamp system. There is no legal issue for having HID - onli when U use them. So in a dual headlamp system - use the HID when U need them & in SG use the normal halogen. Be responsible & also no need to worry yourself sick over roadblock, fine & whatever so..........

 

My HIDs kit are design for bikes - the specs of the Ballast are slightly different from car, especially for smaller cc bikes.

 

This Scooter bulb-Flosser 3939 is in its final development stage - so if U can, I rather - U do a MO & I will give U a best price.

 

Price wise after I stock & market them as kit set - we are looking at selling them for s$280 wif installation.

[WAI]

Any bros out there has anyone of these or have any opinion/comments why these are not installed on your bike? Have been thinking of getting these but was held back by issues like legality and installation procedures on our bike.

… IMO, one reason could be this…

 

Up to what capacity of batteries can the Sulfarid be used for?

 

The Sulfarid is designed for battery capacities from 10 Ah to 120 Ah……...

our stock is AGM type battery rated at 6AH . not sure whether its suitable. may be can ask them directly.

some infos….

 

what are some of the major types of lead acid batteries?

Batteries are divided in two ways, by application (what they are used for) and construction (how they are built). The major applications are automotive, marine, and deep-cycle. Deep-cycle includes solar electric (PV), backup power, and RV and boat "house" batteries. The major construction types are flooded (wet), gelled, and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat). AGM batteries are also sometimes called "starved electrolyte" or "dry", because the fiberglass mat is only 95% saturated with Sulfuric acid and there is no excess liquid. Flooded may be standard, with removable caps, or the so-called "maintenance free" (that means they are designed to die one week after the warranty runs out). All gelled are sealed and a few are "valve regulated", which means that a tiny valve keeps a slight positive pressure. Nearly all AGM batteries are sealed valve regulated (commonly referred to as "VRLA" - Valve Regulated Lead-Acid). Most valve regulated are under some pressure - 1 to 4 psi at sea level.

 

 

how long will my battery last?

the lifespan of a battery will vary considerably with how it is used, how it is maintained and charged, temperature, and other factors.

 

 

what is a AGM or Absorbed Glass Mat Battery?

the newer type of sealed nonspillable maintenance free valve regulated battery uses "Absorbed Glass Mats", or AGM separators between the plates. this is a very fine fiber Boron-Silicate glass mat. these type of batteries have all the advantages of gelled, but can take much more abuse. These are also called "starved electrolyte.” just like the Gel batteries, the AGM Battery will not leak acid if broken.

 

 

What are the advantages of the AGM battery?

..the advantages of AGM batteries are no maintenance, sealed against fumes, hydrogen, leakage, or non-spilling even if they are broken, and can survive most freezes. AGM batteries are "recombinant" – which means the Oxygen and Hydrogen recombine inside the battery. these use gas phase transfer of oxygen to the negative plates to recombine them back into water while charging and prevent the loss of water through electrolysis. The recombining is typically 99+% efficient, so almost no water is lost. charging voltages for most AGM batteries are the same as for a standard type battery so there is no need for special charging adjustments or problems with incompatible chargers or charge controls. Since the internal resistance is extremely low, there is almost no heating of the battery even under heavy charge and discharge currents. AGM batteries have a very low self-discharge rate (from 1% to 3% per month). so they can sit in storage for much longer periods without charging. the plates in AGM's are tightly packed and rigidly mounted, and will withstand shock and vibration better than any standard battery.
