Can someone give the pros and cons of these two approaches. I have an 04 EC300 with the full OEM light kit. I would like to add a battery so I could have lights if the engine dies. I've done some night enduros, and it's dark in the woods. Also, I'm going to start riding my bike to work, and for safety would like the lights to work without the engine running.
I'll probably just stick with the stock headlight, but do like the option of running LEDs, which I believe require DC.
Finally, I have a helmet light that will run off either, but if there is an advantage to running it off AC (more efficient?), then if having an isolated DC system allows that, it may be the route I want to go.
Thanks,
