How much "extra" power do our stators produce?

BigWeld · 04-01-2017, 01:24 PM

I'd like to add some lighting, but I have NO idea how much power in wattage can be added to my Brozz's electrical system before the bike's charging system can't keep up.......can anyone educate me on this?
Thanks in advance.

From what I've read it's 90 watts.

90 watts extra? Where did you find this info?

If you use LED lights, you've got more than enough power.

Well, I have the digital voltage indicator with 2 USB ports, plus two 18W led auxiliary lights....hoping I got enough in the system to run the lights when needed at night and still have a healthy charging system

As long as the charging system can hold 13.7 volts, with everything switched on, you should be ok. If the voltage gets down to 13.5, switch something off and allow the battery to recover. This worked well for me on my GS500.
