    12V accessory circuit - coupling to phone charger kit

    I'd have thought so ... might just need to cut off the battery screw terminal ends and wire into connector. Still in Devon - just gone into the garage and found a very neat little 12v lawnmower battery on the shelf. Started wondering whether to build in one of these as the 12v supply source...

    Benefits of fitting a Cycle Analyst ?

    ... and would any lighting or 12V accessory circuits be taken off the battery before the CA or Speedict shunt but after the isolator switch to enable them to be turned off / on with a single mains switch ?

    Benefits of fitting a Cycle Analyst ?

    Can't really get past that monstrous display for a speedo and battery meter with throttle over-rides atm. Kalkhoff managed about the same complexity of outputs on a neat backlit display of about 2 x 2" max with great readable output and scroll screen buttons you can use easily whilst riding ...

    Ah ... I have clearly misunderstood something about what the relay does ! I can live without the dimmer to be honest. Was mainly liking the supplier owing to them producing something I can follow on a piece of paper drawing, see how it fitted together and have access to the remote on-off...

    Inflating your tyres off your bike battery

    Wonder how much Ah/hr it would draw though. I'm thinking of using it at home off the bike when no cars around as donors so you could recharge quickly... and not much to inflate in a bicycle tyre compared to a car tyre.

    Inflating your tyres off your bike battery

    Just a thought ... could you use something like this plugged into a 12V charging socket on your bike to pump your tyres up : Halfords | Halfords 12v Tyre Inflator 2009 Have an old-style similar thing for car tyres which plugs into cigarette lighter socket. If you had a charging socket...

    Scimitar, on that installation option with by-pass, would this be a suitable 4-way relay on a 12V circuit : LMA Relay Standard On/Off 4 Pin 12V 30 Amp | eBay ... and are these the sort of chrome 2-way dip switches you had in mind for a handlebar mount : Chrome 2 Position Dip Switch with Kill...

    Building in CREE light

    OK. I think for now I'm going to buy this lot as something which is definitely going to work to provide the basic minimum needs and get me on the road, but seems a lot of money and CREE power to only light up 15-20mph stopping distance. It's your speed plus the oncoming car's that needs allowing...

    CST - it's all working

    Thanks so much. Step by step, the goals are getting closer :). Got a fixing plan for being able to remove one of the box sides completely as a panel without having to screw in and out of wood now too - going to give it a test when I get back. Borrowing back my saws and an electric drill from...

    Then that sounds 'spot on' :). Thank you. Been round in endless circles trying to get here ! Is the adjustment down to varying the input voltage, done via the brightness button on the back of the lights or some other way ? Also can I use one of these converters I have on order and have been...
