In this video, we replace the motorcycle battery with another electrical energy storage device that lasts longer than decades, and everything works fine. For instance, the horn, headlamp, taillamp, brake light, buzzer, and turn signals all function properly.

HOW IT WORKS

The battery in a motorcycle serves as a buffer to store electrical energy and meets the high current demand required for the proper operation of the vehicle's electrical components. However, motorcycles also have a stator, a power generator inside the engine. It's directly coupled to the engine and generates AC current when the engine turns. The magnitude of this current is directly proportional to the engine's RPM, meaning it only meets high current demand at higher RPMs. Nonetheless, it's sufficient to charge the battery even at idle engine speed.

In this video, we replaced the battery with a 15000uF capacitor, another type of electrical energy storage device. The capacitor charges to its full capacity within seconds and can discharge at a high current rate, always meeting the high current demand. The higher the capacitance, the more capacity it has.

When the engine cranks, it turns the stator magnets, generating AC current. This current is then fed to the rectifier or regulator, which converts and regulates the AC current into undulating DC current used to charge the battery. Here, we used a capacitor instead. It stores energy quickly, produces clean DC current, and supplies it to the electrical components. As this cycle repeats, the process becomes smoother and functions continuously.

So, what's the point of rebuying batteries?
While capacitors are effective, batteries are still needed for electric starts or vehicles based on ECU or fuel injection systems. That's the only drawback we found.
