the 800 batcap has 800 cold cranking amps at startup, not sure the nominal CCR, the Odyssey had 925 at start for 5 seconds, but way to heavy, 25 pounds vs 14 pounds for the batcap

so, can the batcap function just like a normal battery? not sure how the cells in it work...

yeah bry, but for me its a weight issue

almost30s, got the pm's, checked out the batcap specs, i think i would go with a standard larger AGM battery or dry cell over the batcap, just don't know enough about it

I did and a few others have. They work perfect after the relay. Just look at the wiring diagram that Elkbow posted and you can't go wrong. I tried mine out tonight for the first time out trail riding and they are awesome!

Yeah my buddies freaked out when I turned them on. I don't know if yours does it but mine make a whining noise when they come on. It's pretty cool! I like being able to have just my outer lights on to with the amber bulbs in there. It looks like it's ready for business. I took my swaybar off today to try that out and that was a big help too. It rides tons smoother even with the shocks almost as stiff as they go. There's a couple really bad rutted out places where we went that usually I come close to flipping and it kept all the tires on the ground. It's sweet!

i made a diagram on using relays on the previous page

for the swaybar, my experience is leave it connected, for multiple reasons, i did some serious testing with the polaris's, the only time it help was steep rocky downhills where i was crawling along, no other place did it help, it hurt, it may make it seem to ride smoother, but go along a trail and put your tires i a rut and see what happens, it will actually lean more, because you are not doing both the front and rear end, it doesn't work right and the springs/shocks aren't setup for it

How did you do high and low? I would have done that too but from what I understood it could only be one or the other.

yeah, i can throw away the old sets and last alot longer and don't have to return any for warranty or make any contact, you still got a good price considering the prices of HIDS, but not what the ebay is selling for
