VIDEO 3- Free plans to Install NC25A Battery Charge Controller for Bicycle Generator

This video from http://pedalpowergenerator.com shows one way how to install a charge controller for your battery powerpack. This video is a great intro to people who have never cut a wire, and used crimp on terminals before. The charge controller makes sure that you don't over charge a lead acid battery. It can handle up to 25 Amps of current and can withstand up to 120 Volts input voltage.

Is the charge controller included?

@joshbulldog1661 You can order this charge controller off the website as a separate item through Paypal or through amazon. The website will show you he options at pedalpowergenerator d o t com

The wiring described in the video does not match the schematic.

1) The video shows connecting the +battery sensing terminal connected to output terminal block 2.

2) The schematic shows the +battery sensing terminal connected to the input terminal block 1 and the output side of the thermal fuse which is coneected to input side of the charge controller.

So which one is correct? The video or the schematic? I think its the video...

@schaffercl You can hook up the +battery either way, it will work fine.

I cannot believe people (like me) waste their time watching dumb stuff on youtube when there are such wonderful videos like this floating around. I'm inspired to build this and I now feel the future has hope if even I can be taught this easily. THANK YOU.

@capitalmindz EMP would not hurt this generator if it is not hooked up to anything, the reason being is that there is no closed loop path to complete the circuit. If it was being used to charge something like a battery at the moment an EMP event occured, then it might hurt something. As far as the charge controller is concerned, there is no EMP specification or rating for the NC25A. We would have to ask the manufacturer who is Flexcharge . Thanks for asking- Brad

I'm looking into providing power generation in the event of a massive EMP event. I assume the Charge Regulator and the Blocking Diode would need replaced in the case of such an event. Do you know how these components would be effected in case of an EMP or if there are any equivalent components that could be used that are resistant to EMP radiation?

Would the motor be effected as well?

Well done. I know how long these take to create!  Nice job.
