Coast to Coast
I've deleted the electric starter on the Baby Tracker, but kept it 6 Volts (it's a CD175) - seems to have bright enough lights, so why not?
I would like to use a 6 Volt, 5 ampere-hour sealed battery for it - a lot smaller physically but half the ampere-hour rating of the original.
I changed back to a sealed battery with a 10 ampere-hour capacity (same as the original) because I was told the charging system on the old CD's is pretty primitive and needs a big battery to act as an electrical "shock absorber" - voltage spikes I gather, maybe when running at sustained high speeds?
Space is pretty limited and if there is no good reason to use the big battery and build a new battery box, I'd like to go back to the small one.
The only other question is, would the small battery have enough power to start the bike with the high output 6 Volt coil I have on it?
Thanks,
Pat
