HID HOMEMADE STEP BY STEP

SALVE RAGAZZI!
I finally bought a halogen-based for my new hid, I show you step-by-step assembly, I have some questions for you …

Step 1: BASE

I bought this as a base halogen lamp:

didn’ have much space…


As you can see internally on the left was the power button
and on the right the circuit for charging plug-in.
At the center of the battery housing.

Step 2: POWER

This was the internal battery, a 6V 4Ah

Will buy a second identical that will connect in series to obtain 12v and 8AH.

Step 3: CHARGING POWER: THE FIRST QUESTION
this is the original circuit:


Should I buy a new or might be fine!?
If so, what kind should I buy? what it’s called! Or what components should I buy to recreate it? (sorry for the ignorance) knowing that the batteries in series will produce 12v 8AH

STEP 4: HID KIT
The kit that I intend to buy will have these parameters:
INPUT VOLTAGE

13.5V DC
OPERATING VOLTAGE

9V - 16V
FREQUENCY OUTPUT

400 + / - 50 Hz
CONTINUOUS VOLTAGE MINIMUM OPERATION

<7V
TEMPERATURE

FROM –30 ° to 105 °
VOLTAGE MINIMUM STARTUP

<9V
SURGE PROTECTION

8-22V
MAXIMUM LOAD CURRENT

<15A
DEGREES ON REQUEST

WATT W 35

STEP 5: IGNITION second question
Knowing the power and specifications of the kit. Wath switch 2 pin should I buy?!

Thank you all!
And I hope that this can become a sort of “guide” for anyone who wants to challenge themselves with this project.

Hi my Italian friend,
I have used the same crappy flashlight, modding it with a 55w Hid H3. Off course, I use directly a 12v power source. I use the side, not the top switch and have thow away all the other circuits. I have a great beam but after 3 minutes, flashlight starts smell melted plastic:-(

KALISPERA!
What kind of battery you use? SLA 12v ?ah…
And what kind of switch?

How to recharge the batteries?

I didn’t use batteries or switch, mine is plugged to a car’s 12v lighter.
You will need a 12v battery and a charger (a hobby charger would be very good idea) and a battery that can handle this use. I don’t know the exact type but I think there are a lot of people here that they know the answer.
I see yours have only one switch in the side, I used the same. IMO, use thicker cables than that flashlight already have.

I had an idea of using four A123 26650 to make 12v,and then charge them thru a car lighter plug.Do not know if it would have worked OK or exploded?

I don't know elsewhere, but I could get a good 12V 7.2Ah SLA here for around $16. That's about the price of one 26650. That's a lot more cost-efficient, 50% better capacity than 26650, directly chargable from car 12V, no worry of overcharge/discharge and also won't explode.

Of course there's the weight factor, but the plus overweigh the minus.

Pulsar,I save to many parts to try things like this.Regret that I scraped a gifted,nonworking light like this a few days ago.Battery was dead.Bad quality or neglect,don´t know.
