Because of all extra lamps and gadgets a bigger battery was welcome. I removed
the originally battery and placed a much bigger battery in the sidecartrunk.
It can give a huge current for starting the bike but is also capable to give
little a curent for a very long time (it's a start and deep cycle battery, it
needs a smaller loading current then normal batteries). One of the fillercaps
has a window that gives a green sign (a little, floating green ball) when the
battery is fine.
The battery ventilation has a flame arrestor in it. I've made the venting hose
through the trunk bottom to the atmosphere to avoid gas in the trunk. The new
one is a 75 amp/hour, originally was a 12 amp/hour battery.
By moving the battery to the sidecartrunk, the center of gravity of the
sidecaroutfit became better.
