MXmike800 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 your gonna need to get a stator that charges. idk if your motor will allow that if not put a battery on it with a switch and youll have to charge it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 engine with stator is best. btu a small kinetic or similar brand battery should do great for space. just remember that the amp draw of the lights will determine battery life.

Soulman07 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 How many lights? You would just take the AH rating on the battery and then apply 20 hours to it... Sooooo a battery with a 30 AH rating can supply 30 amps of power for 20 hours before dropping to 10.5... So if you have bulbs that pull 3.5-4 amps of current.. It's a looooooooooooong time brother.
