Looking to trick out recumbent trike with lights - Pls HELP!

I just skimmed the thread, have you thought of some sort of rechargeable battery that charges from the pedaling? Dunno if that's even possible...

I found this 12v 7amp battery, which I think will do the trick, running 4 x SMD Bars for the minimum 3 hours runtime I'm looking for:

This should be OK?

I'm also not sure if I would need to install a fuse as well as I will not be adding more of anything to the system. Please advise! Thanks!

Thanks again in advance.

Actually I do think that's possible as Bionx makes electrical brushless motor systems for bicycles which use lithium Ion batteries that can be recharged to some degree when pedaling. The battery alone for that system sells for $350 ... WAY MORE than I want to pay.

It looks like I'm going to have to go for a motorcycle type battery to handle my lighting.

Found and using 12v SLA 9amp battery, and very satisfied.
Thanks to everyone who helped and advised in this thread, it's much appreciated.
Pics & Videos of install and result can be found in New Threads.

Thanks again!
