I've noticed a few people using smaller batteries in their FCs...
Do you have to convert anything to accomodate the small battery? Is there any benefit aside from space?

 

and where do you get them?

 

yeah...what he said...

sorry i wish i could help

 

Performance lawnmower....great site!

 

smaller batteries usually have less cranking amps so they will drain their power reserves quicker but that all depends on the brand of battery. i had a Hawker battery for my jet ski that was close to the cranking amps of these batteries in half the size but it was also well over $100, you can try a harley shop for a small high output battery.

there is no modifications necessary aside from the battery hold down not fitting properly any more.

 

thanks Ben...

 

you can get a odyessey pc680 battery from ebay. they are motorcycle batteries. some have auto terminals and can be used easily on a car, I have a regular one and used the little screws that tighten the clamp and screwed them straight in the motorcycle terminal thingy. Ive owned it for a few months and it works great, just dont let it sit too long or itll drain and need a jump

 

Thanks for the info Stick....

I can call you "stick", right?

 

im curious of how the weight compares to a "normal" size battery. Im guessing around half.

I run a Hawker battery from Portable Power:

The battery I run costs about $70, and its worked very well so far, although it has VERY LITTLE RESERVE. It weighs about 10 pounds.

 

or...we could just run regular batteries and not worry so much about that FEW extra pounds...and if its space your worried about then just relocate it to the storage bin

 

I dont run the battery for weight, I run it because it allows me space to install my alcohol injection. I dont relocate because then I have to run a battery cut off to comply with my class rules in NHRA.

Next!

 

touche...
