i am sure this has been addressed many times before but being new to group and trying to set up bike station, has anybody used a motorcycle battery for power?...
Motorcycle batteries are a convenient size and not too heavy, but they don't hold up well. Like a car battery, they don't like being discharged more than 20%....
I'd stay away from a wet cell motorcycle battery for safety reasons. It will leak the battery acid if it gets turned over. Instead, I'd suggest a gel cell...
has anyone used or tried to use one of the enclosed, portable battery jumpers? they usually have a dc jack along with the jumper cables, light, compressor,...
I use one at work for jumping off cars. While they would work for powering radios, I'd suggest using just a 12 volt battery. The jump kits have a lot of...
... To add to what W3FF Budd said, you don't want to use a motorcycle battery -- because motorcycle batteries (as far as i know) are starting batteries, not...
... I agree with Sam. I used to use a motorbike battery back in my CB days (80's). I had one crack, and drip electrolyte down the frame. Before I noticed the...
Hi af4ob, Perhaps the first thing you need to do is determine how much power you need. This will depend upon what transeiver you are using. For example an ATS...
first thanks to all who have helped, I guess I should have given more info. I will be running a kenwood ts 50 running 10 watts (about 3-4 amp trans) and 2...

Hi Earl and Roger I rode an R27 which I regret having sold in 1967. Now my mounts are a Royal Enfield 350 and a Kawasaki W650. Most of my bicycling is done on...
I've got a 79 Kawasaki KZ650 that I don't get to ride much since my daughter was born (my wife hates it when I strap the baby seat to the back rack!) :-) Sam ...
Sam, I can hear her echos all the way into North Texas. -My bikes are: Cannondale with 700C Bike Friday with 24" Burley Samba Tandem we've owned since 1995 ...

Good deal on putting HF on your bike, Ron. I much prefer HF to local 2 meter chat on the bike and have had some success with "pedaling and propagation." Unless...
Not sure who's post you are responding to Jake - you deleted the original - like they ask you to - and then you confuse the simple minded among us. :-) I...
Ron, what do you use a key and where and how is it mounted? Cheers, Al ____________________________________________________________________________________ ...
