Lighting up an 88 cc ??

hondarider203 · 01-25-2016, 07:18 PM

OK let say my back story I'm a truck driver and I love lights ...now I have plans on ALOT of lights. now in my thinking one battery should be fine all the lights are led but I'm seeing a lot on here about everyone using a second battery to run extra light is this really needed?? If so where the heck would you put it?? Also would there be a way to tie it into the charging system I have been doing lights on trucks trailers and a lot of farm equipment but those all have ample power source. I've never done anything on this small of a scale.. any ideas??

OK I I just realized a lot of lights was kind of vague I'll be more specific I have 20-25 3/4". 3watt led lights and 4 18watt led spot lights for right now I'll be adding led tape underneath for under glow plus stop turn tail lights not sure on yet I don't see this pulling enough power to kill a battery so long as they are not left on unattended for a period of time?? Any one else have any helpful knowledge??

Sorry you haven't had much response here. I'm not a light expert (I only run simple headlights and taillights on mine) but I would think you'd be OK as some of the most powerful lights won't be on constantly.

on a gas cart you are good with the led's
as for them on for a long time i would use a 2nd battery
put it in the bag well and charge it as needed

Sweet I'll try with primary battery first I guess and see what happens worst case drag it home with the wheeler

i left them on for 5 hours the other night and was only down 1 volt

I would think with the charging system on the cart it should be fine the. What kind of strobes do you run?
