When Dynolux lights were first fitted to the Raleigh Superbe Deluxe Ca. 1946- 50 they were fitted with "dry accumulators" rated at 2 volts per cell (hence the fact that later Dry Battery and Filter switch units were only three cell units) Battery technology is now much more advanced; when I recently purchased a 1959 Raleigh Superbe Deluxe I decided to fit high end Ni- Mh cells and a rectifier to allow the FG hub generator to charge the batteries. Day charging rate is 300ma; I have fitted 0.6w bulbs front and rear; this allows a night charge rate of 100ma. See attached pictures.
My next project will involve a modern dynohub, two "wine bottle" dynamos and three rectifiers running a common rail D.C supply to a 6Ah lead acid battery. Stay tuned for that one..!
