Connecting to 12V deep cycle marine battery
Purchase a deep cycle marine battery made for a trolling motor. The deep cycle battery should have an Amp
rating of at least 30 AH. If it is less than you may need to buy a charge controller. If this is the case then order
the NC25A 12V charge controller. This will have the ¼” posts to attach to. Attach the ring terminal cable
adapter as shown below:
Next install the blocking diode as shown below. If you don’t use this diode the bike generator system will start
spinning on its own without a rider on it.
Note: Put the switch into the “Low Voltage” position. The power meter will not come on until the generator
starts spinning. Before starting use a Volt meter to measure the battery. The lead acid battery should be
between 12.0 and 12.8 Volts after it has sat for 10 minutes. 12.8 means it is fully charged. When you start
pedaling the bike, have a friend look at the power meter to see how many Watts and Amps are coming out of the
generator system. To use this battery with regular items that have an AC 110V Plug you will need to attach an
AC inverter to the posts of the battery. Note if the system stops working check the fuse by pulling it out and
holding it up to the light.
