Am i missing any thing? Bhailog, please help!

When I had tested Acetone on my motorcycle, I had experienced a slight drop in mileage, My experience with using Acetone in my motorcycle | Yogesh Sarkar's Blog

Sabya, do the following tests:

Record battery terminal voltage at the following conditions:
Engine off
Engine on, idling.
Engine on, idling and HID on.
Engine on, medium revs, HID off.
Engine on, medium revs and HID on.

This will give a good idea about whether and how much charging the battery receives with HID on and bike at normal road speed.

Sure sirji, will do this test today. BTW, the second day test was not satisfactory enough. The battery could sustain the HID for another one and a half hours only. After that the HID went dead. But the electric start and all the other functions were working well.

Sir, I have another thing in mind. Can you please suggest me any 12V 32Ah deep cycle Sealed Lead Acid battery of very compact form factor available in India? I would like to have a portable charger for it too.

Sorry but what exactly is HID ?

and how is it useful ?

cant seem to bring anything on google or wikepedia apart from sale info.

Gas-discharge lamps are a family of artificial light sources that generate light by sending an electrical discharge through an ionized gas, i.e. a plasma. The character of the gas discharge critically depends on the frequency or modulation of the current: see the entry on a frequency classification of plasmas. Typically, such lamps use a noble gas (argon, neon, krypton and xenon) or a mixture of these gases. Most lamps are filled with additional materials, like mercury, sodium, and/or metal halides. In operation the gas is ionized, and free electrons, accelerated by the electrical field in the tube, collide with gas and metal atoms. Some electrons circling around the gas and metal atoms are excited by these collisions, bringing them to a higher energy state. When the electron falls back to its original state, it emits a photon, resulting in visible light or ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation is converted to visible light by a fluorescent coating on the inside of the lamp's glass surface for some lamp types. The fluorescent lamp is perhaps the best known gas-discharge lamp.

Gas-discharge lamps offer long life and high light efficiency, but are more complicated to manufacture, and they require electronics to provide the correct current flow through the gas.

Thanks YS so is this an extra attachment apart from the normal Light or a replacement ?

ambidextrous sorry mate using your thread to clarify couple of points

[Yogesh Sarkar]

Extra fitment, which can be used to replace the existing headlights. Checkout this thread for more info, HID for motorcycles

No issues dude. As long as it is helping you, most welcome. BTW, there is nothing yours or mine here; it belongs to all of us.

Thanks YS - please get back to the OP discussion now

ambidextrous thanks for your patience
