HELP! Plan to buy a 6 volt, 250cc Chinese bike, but need to use 12 volt accessories!
Hello,
My friend and I are travelling to Turkey soon and will purchase two Chinese, 250cc motorcycles. Unfortunately, we have just realized that they use 6 volt batteries, and all our accessories (Chatterbox XBI2, camcorder battery charger, cellphone charger, aa/aaa battery charger) are 12 volt systems.
What do we do? The solutions I have thought of so far are:
1. Buy a 6 volt to 12 volt voltage booster ($50-100) for each bike, and connect our 12v accessory outlet to the voltage booster.
The question is: would this supply enough current, etc. to charge our accessories?
2. Connect each of our 6 volt batteries together at night, and somehow create a 12 volt battery, then connect our 12v outlet to it and charge the accessories.
The question is: How do we do this? (we don't know much about electronics)
Are there any other solutions? We cannot convert the bikes' electrical systems, etc.
Please help. We leave in a couple weeks and I need to know what equipment to buy to fix this problem.
Thank you.
