I have read over all the posts on this subject and an electronics guy, I just want to bounce some ideas before I pick a system.
I need to put a 12VDC system on my bike to power the NuVinci fully automatic hub so I figured I might as well make it to where I can use good 12V lights as well.
With the hub I can't swing a hub generator so I am thinking a couple 12V 6W tire sidewall dyno's like this $17 one here Lights - Generator 12V | BikeWorldUSA | Bicycle Parts and Bike Accessories
Then fashion a 12V battery pack from eight D or C sized 1.5 V rechargeable dry cells.
I don't need the light much and the hub takes very little to operate and just kicking in one gen should keep the battery charged, but for prolonged night riding I could kick in the other.
Thoughts?
