[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1363405, member: 20946"] Was Ross right when he assumed the blinky lights are NOT LEDs? His LED idea might be a big help. Much less amperage. Anyway, again, maybe you should consider getting a deep cycle battery for this second battery. Based on what you described, a Shorai will die in a hurry when subjected to that kind of abuse. If the using your system rendered an 18ah Shorai unable to start your bike, that little 7 amp that you have might not hold up to well. Did I understand you correctly? Your second Shorai is 7ah? Another thought: do you have a throttle lock? You can keep the engine idling fast so it'll charge better. Again, ya need a voltage meter (or two). Then you don't have to guess any more. If you're worried about the price, Ebay's got gobs of them el cheapo. Based on the info you've given, it's likely that an 18 amp deep cycle will meet your needs, especially if you can charge it some while riding. Any options of riding in a lower gear to keep the revs up? That'll produce extra charging amps... [/QUOTE]
