Charging system for lights

[Smitty484]

I finished a build with a 49cc 4 stroke engine I want to add lights and a small battery . has anyone come up with a way to add a charging System to keep a battery charged while Engine is running? I keep thinking of a dynamo thing mounted on The flywheel side to run it . any Ideas would be a great help. Thanks Matt

I saw a guy do it with a small solar panel. Something like a deer feeder panel, 4x6”

Search for a 6 volt regulator rectifier.

12 volt bicycle dynamo from eBay bicycle dynamo generator 12v | eBay
The regulator rectifier will control the charge from the bike dynamo. Battery, I would use a small 6 volt rechargeable battery. The reg/rec suggested came from a Honda125 6v system. The 12 volt dynamo puts out enough power and through the regulator it should be good to keep a 6 volt battery charged.

Do I know what I am talking about, not only no, but **** no. But from my research this concoction should work. The smaller 6v dynamos won't kick out enough power to keep the battery charged. This is info my auto mechanic told me.

Right now I am still running with battery lights. Do not need this, but have researched it enough that I believe that it will work.

Magneto Generator Project Help

I've been messing with the white wire trying to hook it up to a light ever since I’ve built my MB. Eventually I gave up cuz it kept on killing the motor. Rather than stealing power from the spark plug's magneto, I decided to build my own generator instead. I made it out of some wire (from an...
