I have installed in accordance with this, not had the engine running yet, another problem, but with battery connected and all seems ok when I press the nudge button ( lovely term that) the light does not shine. Is this ok taking into account no engine (dynamo) turning?g5wqian wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 7:57 am Dynamo nudge circuit.jpgDynamo nudge circuit.jpg
this is taken from the ariel owners page .
dynamo nudge circuit .
might be on interest if you are wanting to kickstart the dynamo circuit using it .
i have a wassell voltage reg on my ariel single and a dvr2 on my ajs twin , the wassell regulator does draw about 50-60ma of current when not charging , so it will drain the battery within about 3 days .
i disconnect my battery when not using bike , then it stays charged , but if you want to better regulator that doesnt draw any current as such then get a dvr2 or a vreg from AO services .
i have both a dvr2 and vreg2 which i am going to swap to though .
even on 6 volt i find you need revs up to get it charging at a decent rate , i think typically 3000rpm for 2 amps on the meter .
i use LEDs front and rear , they draw less than 1 amp combined .
