Huh, that article was written by another Pacific Northwet person. Cool. Yeah, I made sure to do the math as I did the add-on's but knew I'd be over.

Jay contacted me and called out my 76W on the LED so I checked again and they now list it as 170LM/W and the LED I have has a 4000LM low beam and 4000LM high beam for a max of 8000LM's. I rarely use the high beam so math said 25W for just the low beam and 50 if I flip on the high beam. So updating the math shows:

300 watt stator

160 watts used for normal operation

140 watts available
Standard headlight is 35W. Genssi uses 50W max or 25W with just the low beam on
Volt/temp gauge = 5W as a guess
2 x 2.1A @ 5V USB chargers = 10.5W each = 21W
Hyperlites = 3W
2 x Offroad spot lights = 10W each = 20W
SpeedoDRD = 5W as a guess
Glove liners = 15.6W on high
Jacket liner = 84W on high

25+5+21+3+20+5+15.6+84=178.6W used for accessories

160+178.6=338.6W


Again, I've not killed my battery...yet!


I do have a clamp AMP meter so maybe if I pull the saddle in the future I can check the AMP draw with the bike running and convert the AMPs to Watts based on the voltage showing on my integrated gauge.
