New Power Connector on CA

[GMUseless]

Not sure if anyone's mentioned the extra power connector on the new Cycle Analyst yet.

I just got another CA from eBikes.ca: a large screen DP with speedo. But, this one has an extra power connector on it. I looked in the manuals and saw no mention of it, and the one I bought last year doesn't have it.

I emailed Justin about it today, and he responded that it's indeed a direct battery connection good for about 1 amp. The connector is designed to mate with the Cycle Lumenator lights. But, even those who don't have these will surely find an amp worth of battery feed at the handle bars quite useful.

It's a nice addition to the CA. It ships with a rubber cap, which I've removed for the photo.

Yep, mine have dual outputs for Dual Lumenators !!! argh argh argh..

That's awesome. Super Helpful. I never seem to have enough aux taps. That being said, make sure you keep it covered. Seems like it might be easy to accidentally short to an exposed piece of metal somewhere.

Yeah Troy, good point. I don't have the Grin lights, so I'm going to cut the connector. For what it's wort though, the rubber cap is a really good seal. But some water in there could turn out a bitch!

How many volts comes out of it?

I haven't tested it, or opened it yet to look...but Justin said it was pack voltage; a direct connection.

Yeah the power connector was really made for the CycleLuminator so it should be the pack voltage.
What's more important... how many watts of accesories can you run on it?

I am disappoint.

Nice feature. A 12 volt option would have been great, but would not work with their awesome lights.

Even at only 1 amp this is a lot of power at battery voltage.

Nice touch, Justin!

Nice touch, Justin!

If he did that he couldn't sell you his very nice DC-DC 12v output converters.

I believe it come out in fully voltage just like your battery voltage. The assumption is that you will use one of Cycle Lumenator, which already have dc-dc converter build in.

I could be wrong, the early version that I tested came out was fully voltage almost burn out my light. So test it first.

Yep, full pack voltage...

I rum my lumenators on 100v !! muahahaha..

Does this now come standard on every new cycle analyst?

Yes. One plug is now standard.
