Hi,I have two questions. have an XT500 which is known for a weak alternator, around 60W max for everything except head light and ignition. There is a dedicated coil for the ignition. So when I use a booster as the DBR-1 I should consider when connecting it to the battery that it might drain the battery.How much current does the DBR-1 use? How many Amperes? Steady current? What exact additional current/voltage has the ignition coil to take? Will it last as long as it would without booster? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your interest in Dynatek ignitions. The DBR-1 itself will draw less than an amp. The maid current draw will be the ignition coil which will typically be around 3 amps. Please note that the DBR-1 will only work with a 12 volt points style ignition system. It is not compatible with any type of magneto CDI style ignition. If we can be of any future assistance please feel free to contact us anytime.
