    Electrical Power Culculator

    For power / alternator queries try this site
    Go through the bike adding everything by wattage that is drawing power that may be used at the same time
    enter this total in the bottom box in the equation add 12 in the Voltage box and hit calculate that way you can see how many amps your planning to use and if the alternator is strong enough,

    Re: Electrical Power Culculator

    the old mad bugger who taught me electrics at college got us to remember it like this;
    IxV=W
    remember 'IVY WATTS' from coronation street? (not if your in germany probably, its a soap opera)

    V=IxR
    russian space station MIR, but they are always drunk so it 'VIR's (veers, get it?)
    then to transpose you remember them in little triangles, easy.
    ive always remembered those from 20 years ago.

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
