The battery of motor cycles are usually used to power horn and indicators. If you are not using the bike regularly, then the battery will be under charged and get damaged easily. Here on simple technique to power the horn and indicator of the bike.
For this you need to purchase one electrolytic capacitor of rating 2500 micro Fared 16 Volt (More rating can also be used). This is available at all electronic spare parts or repair shops for approx Rs 15/-
Remove the faulty battery and connect the capacitor’s positive lead to Red wire and negative lead to black/ green wire. The lead identification of capacitor is as show.
Now start the bike…Your bike’s horn and indicator will work. This is tested with Hero Honda, Bajaj and TVS bikes.

How can you start it with out a battery?
It is applicable for the middle order bikes with kick start (Most common in India)
Hello Sir,
I would like to know if it is applicable on Royal Enfield Standard 350 cc Model as well ? Since it Does not start without battery being connected or when battery is low(although it doesn’t have self-start option but even kick start is still dependent on Battery for this variant)..I would love to get rid of such dependency on battery for my motorbike,since it would relieve loads of hassles for me.
I have not tried this for Enfield. You can try this, it will not harm your bike and not a costly experiment too. Use two to three capacitors in parallel, I think it should work out. Try and post your result, it will be helpful to others also.
Hi, I’ve tried with Capacitor of rating 2200 µF / 16 Volts for my H.Honda Glamour. Horn is working fine when engine is accelerated, but when in normal running (just start) horn is not working. Indicators are not working in either above cases. Please guide me what to do. Thanks.
Try with more capacitors (at least 4) in parallel . I think the power required for horn and indicators of HH Hlamour is more.
It’s really a different artical.thanks for that.but still it put me in suspance.how can it posible The self start bike without battery.Now I am stop writeing with thank’s for introduce new subject….!
It cannot be started using a capacitor, the article also doesn’t say so.
can i use this with car. which capacity of capacitor required for car. waiting for ur reply
No friend,
The case of car is different. No such technology developed till now. Car battery is used for starting also na? No such capacitor is available to deliver such an amount of energy.
Can this be done on a Yezdi Roadking ? ?
Mine has no battery and the bike runs on magneto coils..
the its 6Volts
this wil work out in splender kick start bike ah. .
is this work for pulsar 150cc ?
Hi, i tried with 2 capacitors with 2200 x 25V for my Hero Honda Passion vehicle, but still my indicators and horn are not working properly as normal. Could you please suggest me for any further replacement or addtion.
You have to ensure the correct polarity and the existing battery must be removed. It has been tested with HH Passion.
Hi, its working fine now with 2200 x 16v for my Hero Honda Passion Vehicle. I have disconnected the buzzer for my indicators. Can i use more rating also for ex: 3300 x 16v or 4700 x 16v so that i can refix my buzzer to my vehicle to have a better performance. At the same time, using higher rating will harm the vehicle. Could you please suggest me.
how can we charge the capacitor…
It will get charge from the dynamo
it will efficient like battery ah
Then it will charged under running condition only na…
I would like to know if it is applicable on scooty pep plus 90 cc Model as well .
If not how can i start scooty without battery ?
For starting you have to use battery. It is not the replacement of battery for self start
O.K . , for self starting battery will use. But if the battery fails , my scooty is not getting on by kick. so, i want to know how can i start the scooty by kick without battery. In scooty self & kick start both facilities are available.
It is understood that TVS Scooty will not kick start in case of drained battery. I haven’t tested capacitor with Scooty. Placing capacitor in parallel with battery will not work.
Hi,
I want to use this for my honda unicorn.
Can I use the capacitor along with the battery(AMCO or Exide)?
If not which type of battery can be used along with capacitor?
Nowadays hybrid batteries are also available.

Thanks.

Using Capacitor in parallel with existing battery is not advisable. Thanks for the input of Hybrid and power capacitor.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Which battery can be used with capacitor?
Any idea about VRLA batteries…?

Hello,
Will the bikes other parts be affected for not having a battery in it?
I mean other electrical parts.
Hello Sir,
Can u plz suggest me, how can I use this to light up Head lights?
hello,
i used 2200microfarad capacitor,my bike horn is not working.then i tried g5 capacitors in parallel but still not working my bike horn.
plz suggest me proper solution
You have to remove the existing battery. Get the horn checked for its serviceability
Is it possible to increase the wattage of a motorcycle using a capacitor.
Sujith, is it harmful to bike wirings.., and any risk is there to connect capacitors with wrong voltage??
