First an introduction.
This last winter, I was stranded at work because my battery died over a period of a day. I still don’t know exactly what accessory was the culprit but I think it had something to do with my wheel lights.
So I will be making an effort to organize how my accessories are connected to my battery and I will also be isolating some accessories to a relay that that only sends power when the ignition is turned on.
Currently I have the following components connected to my battery:
All of these wires lead to my battery and in the end it looks like this. Having disorganized lines of connections to a battery can lead to a short or even a drain.
I am awaiting my parts to arrive in the mail but once I have them, I will show my process.
Also, I am following this guide: http://www.canyonchasers.net/shop/generic/relay.php
Hopefully everything will work out in the end. Also stay tuned for more bike mods in 2014.
