What a deal-starter battery

[Andy Greene]

Needed to replace my 12 volt batteries and charger for my starter. After pricing stuff, I Decided to go a little different route. Found a 24 v pack on the clearance wall and matching charger at Depot- for what would have been about $49.00 . When the lady rang it up - the battery came to .01 :blink: - she called back and they said yep - its a penny :wacko: h34r: Do you have any more was my first question once I tried to hide my smile. No of course- but for $24.99 - I have 24 volt power that plugs directly into my existing female spade connectors on my starter box and weighs 15lbs less at least than the two lead acid batterys

Since we are on the topic is there anything wrong with just using a 3s lipo for your power supply??? Good score on the battery also!!!

Yeah using lipo is fantastic for starter batteries I use 4s without a problem, I use 4s because a 3s dosen't leave much voltage before it drops below 12v, you need to be careful with lipo's not to go below a certain voltage as you may know. PB lead acid battery is actually 14.7v fully charged anyway. 4s just give's you more time and less worry between charges....

Im a happy camper- charged it overnight and tried it when I got home. awesome power and lost at least ten ponds from the radio box.Plus the starter fits where the 2nd lead acid used to sit- sweet

Thats awesome and for $25 bucks you got to be happy with that...a little less dangerous than the lipo batteries aswell.... nice setup.
