Taser

Description:
Last weekend I saw something, at Larry's Pistol and Pawn Shop that sparked my interest... The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife.
What I came across was a 100,000 volt , pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse effect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety..??
Way too cool!!
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button.
Nothing!! I was disappointed.
I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
AWESOME@!!!
Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to my wife what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple A batteries, right?
There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh and blood moving target. I must admit I thought about sapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat.
But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another.
The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant: a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control: a three-second burst would purportidly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water, any burst longer than that would be wasting the batteries.
All the while I’m looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference: pretty cute really and ( loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple A batteries: thinking to myself, No way possible!!
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I’ll do my best ..!
I'm sitting there, alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say "don't do it dipshit," reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn’t hurt all that bad...
I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and . . .
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD ..........WEAOPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . . . .WHAT THE HELL / ???
I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again.
I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs??
The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.
Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one note of caution: There is no such thing as a one second burst when you sap yourself??
You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second b burst would be considered conservative??
SON OF A BITCH, THAT HURT LIKE HELL!!!
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point) I collected my wits, what little I had left, sat up and surveyed the landscape.
My best reading glasses were on the mantel o the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was my triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching.
My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed68 pounds. I had no control over the drooling.
Apparently I shit myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone,. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from y hair.
I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!!.
P.S My wife loved it and now regularly threatens me with it!
If you think Education is difficult, try being stupid!!

Description:HI; pj your correct. Don if you have over loaded the charging system the only thing you can do is try to get a larger output alt assy. Or just remove the high amp bulbs. I am not sure of the wattage out put of your 750. It should be close to this.,.Max output..350 watts at about 5000rpm.Voltage should be 14.0-15.5 volts at 5000rpm. Here are some w

Motorcycle Battery Maintenance
- From: manybikes

Description:
Kyle Bradshaw of Cruiser Customizing talks about the reasons our motorcycle batteries fail, and what we can do to extend the life of our batteries.
Watch the Video Battery Maintenance Tip of the Week
Did you know the life span of an average motorcycle battery is on 12 to 24 months?!
Only 30% of batteries sold today reach the 48-month mark. In fact 80% of all battery failure is related to sulfation build-up. This build up occurs when the sulfur molecules in the electrolyte (battery acid) become so deeply discharged that they begin to coat the battery's lead plates. Before long the plates become so coated that the battery dies.
Sulfation of Batteries starts when specific gravity falls below 1.225 or voltage measures less than 12.4 (12v Battery) or 6.2 (6 volt battery). Sulfation hardens the battery plates reducing and eventually destroying the ability of the battery to generate Volts and Amps.State of Charge Specific Gravity Voltage 12V 6V 100% 1.265 12.7 6.3 *75% 1.225 12.4 6.2 50% 1.190 12.2 6.1 25% 1.155 12.0 6.0 Discharged 1.120 11.9 6.0 The causes of sulfation are numerous. Below are several common causes of battery sulfation:- Batteries sit too long between charges. As little as 24 hours in hot weather and several days in cooler weather.
- Battery is stored without some type of energy input.
- "Deep cycling" an engine starting battery. Remember these batteries can't stand deep discharge.
- Undercharging of a battery, to charge a battery (lets say) to 90% of capacity will allow sulfation of the battery using the 10% of battery chemistry not reactivated by the incomplete charging cycle.
- Heat of 100 plus F., increases internal discharge. As temperatures increase so does internal discharge. A new fully charged battery left sitting 24 hours a day at 110 degrees F for 30 days would most likely not start an engine.
- Low electrolyte level - battery plates exposed to air will immediately sulfate.
- Incorrect charging levels and settings. Most cheap battery chargers can do more harm than good. See the section on battery charging.
- Cold weather is also hard on the battery. The chemistry does not make the same amount of energy as a warm battery. A deeply discharged battery can freeze solid in sub zero weather.
- Parasitic drain is a load put on a battery with the key off. More info on parasitic drain will follow in this document.
Aside from Sulfation, Parasitic Drain another common battery destroyer! What is parasitic drain?Parasitic drain is a load put on a battery with the key in the OFF position. Most of todays motorcycles come from the factory with clocks, engine management computers, alarm systems, etc. And what do we do when we get our motorcycles home? We Accessorize them! We add radios, GPS, and all other sorts of gadgets. These devices may all be operating without the engine running. You may have parasitic loads caused by a short in the electrical system. If you are always having dead battery problems most likely the parasitic drain is excessive. The constant low or dead battery caused by excessive parasitic energy drain will dramatically shorten battery life.It is recommended you must put back the energy you use from your battery immediately! Charging or refilling your battery is important, and is best done using Smart Chargers such as Battery Tenders and PuseTech Xtreme Chargers are the best way to accomplish this task.You don't find these types of chargers in most auto parts stores!
Battery Tender has been in the business of battery maintenance for over 44 years! Battery Tender is the Official Charger of Both Harley Davidson as well as BMW.
The first step of a Smart Charger such as a Battery Tender is bulk charging where up to 80% of the battery energy capacity is replaced by the charger at the maximum voltage and current amp rating of the charger.When the battery voltage reaches 14.4 volts this begins the absorption chargestep. This is where the voltage is held at a constant 14.4 volts and the current (amps) declines until the battery is 98% charged.Next comes the Float Step. This is a regulated voltage of not more than 13.4 volts and usually less than 1 amp of current. This in time will bring the battery to 100% charged or close to it. The float charge will not boil or heat batteries but will maintain the batteries at 100% readiness and prevent cycling during long term inactivity.
PulseTech takes battery maintenance to the next level with their 5 Stage Charging system.
PulseTech Xtreme ChargerStage 1 - Charge Evaluation / Test and InitalizationStage 2 - Bulk ChargeStage 3 - Absorption and Saturation ChargeStage 4 - Variable Float Maintenance ChargeStage 5 - Continually PULSE Charges to minimize the size of lead sulfate crystalsBoth Kuryakyn and Show Chrome Accessories offer ways to monitor your battery while on the road and between charges.
I hope this Cruiser Customizing Tip of the Week has been beneficial for you!
Until next week, take care and ride safe!
