Hello All,
I've been thinking - this is when people usually run for the
hills screaming BTW - I have an electrically assisted cooler that
would fit almost exactly on the luggage rack behind the sissy bar of
my new ride. This cooler uses a fan and heatsink to pull heat from
inside the cooler and keep the contents cooler than the ice would
alone.
The fan draws between 4 and 5 amps continuous - based on the
rating on the unit and the fact that pop the circuit breaker on a 4
amp power supply when I run it for long periods of time. I don't think
it would be a good idea to plug a load that big into a bike that has a
14 amp Alternator - I have a feeling I wouldn't be able to sustain the
charge in the battery for very long.
So my thought was add a second battery and a pair of solar
panels - hoping to get a half an amp out of the panels in direct sun.
The panels would be of course more to extend the life of the charge
than to actually run the fan.
Thoughts?
