Valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries.The article contains the following topics (click to jump straight to a particular section): It is written with specific regard to my 1951 Matchless G3LS, but as the same batteries and carriers were fitted to many British bikes of the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s it will equally well apply to most other makes and models. This article is a summary of what I found, some of the possible options and what you should look for if you’re also replacing your classic motorcycle’s battery. I would also be able to order one of the dummy battery boxes from a supplier back home in the UK so that I could get the bike looking a little bit more original without the bright red modern Exide battery box on its left side.Īs it turned out there are actually quite a few different battery options and selecting the most appropriate requires a little knowledge of batteries and of the original Lucas types fitted to such classic motorbikes. Here in Hong Kong I figured I would have access to a greater range of batteries. There wasn’t exactly much choice in batteries and whilst converting to 12 volts helped, it was really just a case of finding something that would just about fit within the battery carrier. I bought the Exide unit a year or two ago when I was back in India after the previous custom-made 6v unit failed after only 6 months.
6 VOLT BATTERY BOX PRO
Check out the Cabela's External Battery Box/Solar Panel with 6-Volt Battery available at Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops.The existing Exide motorcycle battery I have installed on my Matchless G3LS doesn’t seem to be holding charge as well as it did, so I figured it was about time I replaced it with something that looked a little more in keeping with the rest of the bike. Put down that Duracell, leave the Bunny behind. The USB outlet also gives you the ability to charge your devices in the field if necessary. The biteproof cable works with all Cabela’s trail cameras and the unit is also compatible with Primos and Bushnell trail cameras as well. Using the solar panel allows you to take unlimited photos as it keeps the 6-volt rechargeable battery fully charged. You can use it with or without the included solar panel, and it enables you to capture about 7,000 nighttime images on just a single charge. This Cabela's External Battery Box/Solar Panel with 6-Volt Battery is essentially a rechargeable external battery with adjustable solar panel that connects to your trail camera via a biteproof cable and allows you to mount your camera directly to the box. The Cabela's External Battery Box/Solar Panel with 6-Volt Battery is $39.99, a price point that will more than pay for itself in just one season of running your trail camera(s).
Depending on how many trail cameras you run, that can become a pricey ordeal. That’s $8-$12 every time you change the batteries on your trail camera. One jumbo pack of batteries costs about $20, or about $1 each. However, you can take it to the bank that you’ll have to change your batteries no less than once a month in most cases. In general, most cameras require 8-12 AA batteries and depending on the frequency of which they take photos the batteries have varied life spans. This solar unit voids the need for batteries on your existing trail camera and uses solar power to run it instead.
