Baja MB200 battery mod

[Doug L.]

Hi everyone, I'm wanting to add an AGM battery to my MB200 . Has anyone ever done this? I'm wanting to have continuous bright lights without having to drive full speed all the time. I'm thinking I might weld together a battery box out of some flat bar and mount it in front of my engine. Any advice?

Thanks!
Doug

If your kids have any old power wheels products laying around you can always use that.
I did. And would get 2 -3 hours of light off two mini halogens.
And ... If you still have the charger, no money spent. I just just used those female connectors to the tabs on Pw battery.
Also they are small and light weight

Haha well, don't have any power wheels! I forgot to mention that baja discontinued a rear mountable basket. Maybe I could make one to hold a battery?

Why not a bag on the side. Something like a ammo can or a other box like thing. could kinda look like a bagger cycle. Tools in one and a battery in the other.

 

[Doug L.]

Good idea but there really isn't anywhere on the sides where I could mount one...

This is wher i was going to make a box

 

[Doug L.]

That would probs be the best place, but the basket would be easier.

ive got one of these but the wires coming from the head light well I don't no where they go, could you make a small video that would be great. thanks

Hi billy! The wires from the headlight go to the engine's alternator. Tomorrow I'll see if I can't get a pic or vid.

The bike above is a genuine Baja product, not a copy.

No such thing as a proper baja, or china copy. Baja mini bikes are all made in China all have chineese everything.

Hey Doug,

here's another option. I went down to Wally World and picked up one of those great new LED driving light sets. I wired them in series with the headlight. Aimed properly, they give plenty of additional light and there's no power loss.

Yet another battery option.

I have the 8 cell 275 CCA, but the four cell puts out 135CCA and would be plenty of power. Small enough to mount above your engine if you wanted to, and it weighs .85 pounds. Spendy, but they typically last 5 years.
