Floyd Posted September 1, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 1, 2006 wanting to get a heated jacket and gloves.how much wattage will the 2nd gen. stater produce? bill Plenty more than a jacket and gloves take. Just put a voltmeter on the bike and see that it's maintaining a voltage above 12V I don't have a jacket but use heated gloves in the winter. Added to that are all the lights I use and the system is over 12V all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevieMac Posted September 1, 2006 Share #3 Posted September 1, 2006 My wife and I have both worn electric vests in the cool weather for the 11 years I've had my first gen. Never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted September 1, 2006 Share #4 Posted September 1, 2006 I believe its 360 watts & 30 amps @5000 rpm. I run two vests, electric grips and passing lights, sometimes for hours at a time with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted September 2, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 2, 2006 I think Dan (stardbog) has gloves, vest and pants all heated for both he and his wife Linna. He said there was lots of power to power both of them. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggler Posted September 2, 2006 Share #7 Posted September 2, 2006 It's simple math guys. Just follow Ohm's Law. Watts = Volts x Amps. Your 12VDC cig outlet is on a 5 amp circuit. So you simply multply 12v x 5a to get 60watts. That is the max rating for the circuit. Next question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next question. wanting to get a heated jacket and gloves.how much wattage will the 2nd gen. stater produce? bill You never answered the first question ? But you answer was good for the Cig lighter outlet. I believe some will hard wire a connection and hide the plugs under the seat. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted September 2, 2006 Share #9 Posted September 2, 2006 Hard wired with a relay and fused is best. This way takes the load away from the ignition switch. I think the gerbing vest is 70 watts, that would be exceeding the 5 amp cig. circuit with just the vest alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted September 2, 2006 Share #10 Posted September 2, 2006 thanks guys,never dreamed i had that much juice available.bill Keep in mind that approx. 50% of the power producted by the stator is used in the everyday operation of the bike, headlight, tail light, signals, radio, carb heaters, passing lamps, charging battery etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardbog Posted October 4, 2006 Share #11 Posted October 4, 2006 One suggestion Bill . If you connect heated clothing turn off passing lights. just to be on safe side ,and preserve juice. Termostats / controlers are helping too. something Mast have with heated clothing. in Verry cold days rides ( low 20F ). I'M dial full blast of heat, most of the time is beetwen 1-3 out of 7. Gerbings are good , but Widder has better heat transfer, and consuming less power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted October 4, 2006 Share #12 Posted October 4, 2006 It would be great if a person could buy an after market stator for the Venture that procuced 500 or 600 watts. The Gold Wing folks have a definate advantage here with their 1000+ watts of available power, they can run all the electric clothing and accesories they want and still have lots of power to spare.

BuddyRich Posted October 4, 2006 Share #13 Posted October 4, 2006 The Gerbings controller comes with a hardwire connector to the battery. If I start runnin the vest and the led and all 3 headlight on highbeam I am running at borderline on the charging of the battery. So you really don't have that much juice. But I won't give up my heat or lights in the winter. just have to turn down the heat for a short period and she catchs back up on the charge. I use a Kuryakyn charge meter.

Guest Shooter777 Posted October 4, 2006 Share #14 Posted October 4, 2006 I run Widder vest and gloves.I also have a PIAA 110 watt headlamp.When I turn on the passing lamps which come on with the high beam my system is no longer charging the battery.I also have the Kuryakn voltmeter. With the low beam and no passing lamps it's charging good. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted October 5, 2006 Share #15 Posted October 5, 2006 110 watt headlight! Wow that must be a bright light, I see why putting it on low beam would make a difference for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
