Battery Amp/H question ???

<< < (3/4) > >>

BigAl (Alan):
As previous posts the correct battery is a CB14L-A2 battery (14 amp hour)

The field coil & spark plug coils will always demand 2-3 amps per hour. Battery charging on these bikes starts gradually after 2K revs. Depending on your lighting design on your 'café' your may have problems with a 5 amp hour battery.

I have assumed that you intend to kick start only, if you do go for a low amp battery, fit an line switch to the black wire on the regulator-switch OFF when you kick start the bike-once warmed up switch it back ON to charge the system. The field coil will always demand 2 amps which will reduce the amount of current available for the ignition coils

Cheers folks for the useful info !! I found this one I know it pricey but it will fit nicely under my cafe seat

Any downfalls apart from the price ??

Cheers

You'll be amazed at its weight ~ like an empty box. Only downside I can see is trickle charging is a big no-no, needs remembering. I've got two of these batts on my CBs, and so far no probs / very pleased. Big plus for me is that I'm away from the bikes for long spells, and on return no noticeable discharge.

Cheers Lobo yeah it's ideal for my needs and if I need to I'll charge it with my car charger !!!

Cheers

Lobo:
I know this sound dumb, but don't forget to factor in space for the cables up to the battery! ie you'll need slightly more than those bare dimensions. Apologies for stating the obvious - but the sort of 'doh' moment I occasionally suffer!
