LED indicators

[John Mason]

On my Ruby I have a little gismo installed made by a member of the PWA7C which allows for better battery charging. I must admit that I do not fully understand the ins and outs of electricity and charging. I do however understand that overcharging a battery causes problems and shortens its life. He did away with the 3rd brush and wired in the gismo to the control box. He explained it like this. You can charge at a reasonable high rate without harm so long as the battery is not fully charged. (there is room for it to go) His gismo monitors the battery's state of charge and operates the cut out at this point thus allowing no more charge to the battery and therefore no over charging problems. The bonus is that the battery re charges faster after starting etc. and that coupled with an 80ah battery means I can drive at night without problems. I do not use LEDs they were not around when I had my modification. I am still on 6 volts.
