Battery question?

(1/3) > >>

Ian:
Hello,

I was wondering if I could use a 12 volt motorcycle battery in my tub? I have the room.  The battery I have now is very tired and I noticed that motorcycle battery's and the like are priced right. I was wondering if anyone has used one and how they got on with it..

Cheers,
Ian..

I believe you are talking of a 12volt SLA
these are used quite a lot in the model world I have five for my boats and also three 6volt SLA

2 of the 12volt ones come from lawn mower starter systems, but the new ones are form Maplins or CEF

Make sure it's a sealed battery and use a proper lead-acid charger.

Ian:
Hey thanks guys,

I thought I had to be specific about what battery to use and now I see that I have more options than I thought I had.  %%

Cheers, and thanks a lot,
Ian..
