Adjusting voltage on light wiring. Bbshd

You can ask the people in novsight that they have good service attitude. I will ask questions that I do not understand, and they will be happy to answer them.

I think you should change it for a long time. Now I have used it for 3 years. If you are interested, you can read it on my homepage.

IMO the best thing is to connect a solid state relay to it because the available wattage is minuscule.

You can pretty much write that thing off. It's 6v and very low amps. So either rebuild your battery or there are a lot of 48v units out there now.

Max_Volt - Are you saying the controller light wire is very low milliamperes, or the USB port on the display? I know the USB port on the display won’t run an LED USB light. I would think the dedicated controller lighting wire on some controllers would be setup properly for lighting.

I will try connecting my new controller with lighting wire to my battery and take voltage and ampere readings...

How did this converter work out?

Anyone know of a good 5-6V LED headlight and tail light with flashing option that can plug directly into the 5-6V(?) wire on “some” BBS02B controllers?

Thanks Tommie, I've just ordered it and will see how it goes. I will have to figure out a way to keep it waterproof if it works.

Tommie is all over it. That will work like a charm.

The original headlight output is rated at 6v 500ma so there is a huge chance to do damage if the light connected is too demanding. There are many options. One would be to get a dc-dc buck converter and to drop the battery voltage down to 12 volts. Then get a relay that can use 6v and have that activate the connection from the battery to your light. I am doing something similar but my light already has a converter built in.

Stepping the voltage up from 6 to 12 is not an option as there is not enough current to even run a light at 6 volts.

I can provide more info but it seems that you don't need assistance anymore.

I have a great led light that I have been using for a few years but it's battery recently died so I wired it directly to the lighting cable on my BBSHD but the voltage seems to be at 9v not 12v so the light isn't very bright.

Is there a way of adjusting the voltage getting output?
