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:-(
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 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.
