Total loss electrics

[p.dath]

I'd love to know what the max draw on my bike is. Main problem is getting to full load (load as opposed to revs) is extremely difficult in the shed....

I have one of those cheap Dick Smith multi-meters, and it has a max/avg/min setting. I'm sure many others do.

Strap the multi-meter in, go for a ride, and when you come back you can look at the max figures ...

That sounds like it's just the ticket

If you are running a total loss system on your race bike, I had a query from a customer about the Shorai batteries in this situation. I emailed Shorai Tech and asked the question. I thought their reply would be of interest to everyone doing so regardless of the battery you are using. Here is the email I received...


Seems a good general calculation. Has anyone done this for their own use? How do you find the endurance for a race?

The only prob i see with the calculation is that max draw usually happens at lower revs, not peak torque?, + dont trust amp hours as most modern injected bikes lose power bigtime below 12.5volts in supply / running mode.
