Solid State Power Box

This will go on a 1985 GS550L, but my original mounting location is now occupied with a compufire reg/rec. and the fuse block is now located between the battery and rear inner fender. It looks like tabless would be fine.

Dan,
Charging rates are based on a % of capacity. A charge rate like C/3 is a high charge rate and would be computed as the ratio of Amp Hours/3

for a 14 amp Hr batt 14/3=4.66 amps.

If you put an accessory onto the bike at the same time then the reverse current will be less.

Theoretically if you load anything else on the bike and you use a stout charger then there could be more reverse draw but if you exceed the 6 amps continuous the poly fuse will eventually cut off the charger and you will have to use the battery.

It is not likely a trickle charger will ever be able to support 6 amps although a big automotive charger will.

I think this is a good solution.

This is some impressive work that you've done and is something I would definitely be interested in, would it work for a 1980 GS850? It has the glass fuses and a rectifier mounted underneath, unlike the setup that isleoman is showing.
Thanks

Yes, most all all the GS Suzuki's have similar wiring so the directions will apply pretty much GS universally.

The main option is what style base for the heatsink that it mounts on. Since the PCBA is bonded to the heat sink it is not something that can be easily replaced after the fact.

How would I get on the list for the prototypes?

I'll put you down, what bike you plan to install on? Which tab option?

A 1980 GS850gl (that I just recently got), I would prefer the style with the symmetrical tabs. Any idea as to when they'll be finished?

Hoping within a month. base PCB's are supposed to be here tonite and I have all the rest of the parts on order. Most I already have.

Excellent! I'm excited to try it out. I was contemplating the coil relay mod, but this would be pointless with this system, correct?

Ignition relay mod is part of the SSPB install.

Wow, I'm sorry, I just re-read the original post and figured that out. I'll be sure to read everything twice when the part and instructions show up.
This really is a brilliant idea and I'm looking forward to it. Keep up the good work!

Thanks you ; I think it will solve a lot of different problems.

I hope it will fix the problem of me not wanting to mess around with another tangled up eletrical system.

It should help, but remember it doesn't have a remote keyless start
