Re: 12V DC CONVERSION - HOW TO

[YAMLAM]

Go back to page 2 of this thread , top post gives good examples, or Try Knowledge ,i believe he had some.
best conversion you will ever do on a Lammy

[byron]

Looking at going down the DC route without the battery can anyone tell me a good supplier and what type of wassell regulator i need for this please

i think corrado was stocking some.

[Toddy]

Sorted thanks lads

[marburys]

hi where can i get a battery that fits on battery tray for this conversion. thanks in advance

[soulsurfer]

The size of the battery depends on its power, the larger the more power stored, so measure yours and have a look on the Maplin website where I believe dimensions are given, or take your battery to an electrical wholesaler and ask for a burglar alarm battery of similar dimensions, where they'll also be a lot cheaper than Maplin

Lads i have one of those BGM 120w ac stators i should be ok to do the conversion on this using the wassell etc also what size of fuse is used or is that dependant on the ampage of the battery used .. ...Bill

[mark]

The bgm stator is ok for converting
Fuse size depends On what it's using
Don't forget the switches on bars are getting very hot with 5amps going thru them

[Craig H]

If the switches get hot use it as a hand warmer

Should only be using about 58w/4.8amps which is roughly the total watts/ampage for all the blulbs on at the same time and will be using possibly a 4.5ah battery as i can get one for free ,so to save the switch somewhere around 6a fuse might be needed or am i off the mark a bit ...

Since I have a long range tank and no battery tray I was going to do the conversion without a battery. Will this work or do I need one of those battery eliminators (basically a fat capacitor).
