Hi
Can anyone point me in the direction of a circuit that will allow me to jump start a motorbike from the mains.
It will need to convert 240AC to 12V DC and supply a current of up to 90AMPs for up to 10 seconds at a time.
I've read that a strater motor actually requires 1000watts of power and so Voltage isn't necessarily a factor? (i.e 24V supply = 45AMPs, 48V supply = 25AMPS)
If someone could confirm if this is correct and whether a higher voltage/lower AMP circuit would be better.
I need this as my motorcycle runs 'total loss' (no alternator) - and starting the bike drains the small onboard battery which only runs the coils and fuel pump when I'm on the bike and so the bike either requires an off-line car battery or an engine driven flywheel to bump start the bike in gear.
A light, plug-in solution for the mains would be preferable.
Cheers
Steve
