What’s everybody using for starter battery’s these days? I have always used two 12 volt dry cells. Do they make 12 volt Lipos or?
Been using the 2 12 Gel cells for several years . Love the power hate the weight and I need to find a nice spiral wound 14 or 16 gauge cord so I can get rid of the rather stiff SO cords I have used .
This is almost my exact setup, including the speaker wireLarge gauge speaker wire is what I use..
10 gauge subwoofer wire from any car stereo place. it's fine stranded and very flexible.
I've used it for years and it's held up fine to nitro and gas fumes.. I use 2 - 12 volt gel cells
(24 volt) on a dynatron. Batteries, cord, relay, starter all fit inside of a Rubbermaid step stool thing that has a latching lid and carry handle built into it. I keep my glow driver and 5/16" nut driver in there too..
Can't tell you how many times I have seen pit people in a panic, grab my box when their wore out junk fails to spin over a motor and pit time is running out...
Same exact one as mine...

6 - 7 boats .......21 - Twin .91 - 1.01I use an MPI MAX Products flight box. Starter sits in the top of the starter box. Two 12 volt gel cells fit tight side by side. Mine are wired up with banana jacks on one side. Made a jumper wire to plug in to a negative from one cell to the positive of the other if I need the extra power. The starter box clips on to the flight box that has two drawers. An open area in the top I use to hold my magic fishing real and tennis ball. On the side opposite the starter box is room with velcro straps for a gallon of fuel. I use a hand pump so it just lays in the top. I don't have a coiled cord. Just what came on my Sulivan starter. Thought about a coiled cord. But figured it was just something else to get tangled up. Works for me. But I never ran more than two boats at a race. And so far nothing bigger than a .45...

I put 2 9 AH baterries and one smaller 12 V battery for the power panel that has glow on it . Stater sits on top with a couple of tools and spare plugs in a little case on the bottom . Heavy but it's all there .Anyone have a sketch or plan for a starter box to house the 2 gel cell batteries? Compact yet functional...
