I have just been looking at stickys second edition book and noticed that the varitronic has a terminal for a battery. I am running varitronic on my scooter and didnt know this option was available
. What I would like to know is : if I buy one of the sealed batteries to use for the use of charging phone, sat nav, etc....how do I go about it I haven't got any idea where to start.
I have been looking at all the topics, but cant find anything. Any info greatly appreciated.....
Cheers
Bizz

Cheers Lam46......so without sounding toooooo thick
I need to connect one wire to the terminal on regulator and then connect that to the live on battery which has another wire going from that to the phone charger etc and the earth on battery to the frame

Sorry to bother you again Mark
Whats the best battery I would be able to use for this set-up?...Ive seen a lot on ebay like the 1.2 and 7.2......Its only for phone charging and possible sat nav use.....no spot lights or owt like that

i would use a minimum 5ah battery because it last's a fair time while engine is not running , making your phone charging possible by locking phone in toolbox while you go on p155.
i personally dont use anything less than a 7.2 ah one
