It weighs 3 lbs, it is safer and has enough power to run the ignition and fuel pump easily for a couple of 25 min sessions. Get a simple volt meter in the dash .

Volts, which makes electronic ignition systems much happier than the 12.5 volts of lead acid batteries. A typical little battery for a RC model is 5000mah (or 5AH in more normal parlance) and it's a little smaller than a pound of butter. While one of them might actually crank your motor, five or six is a better bet. I had ten handy that I'm no longer using (new drone) so I put them together for peyote. 50AH, 1000Amps of cranking current. If I ever draw that my starter wire will probably vaporize, but the starter spins briskly. pertronix ignition at 6000 rpm draws five amps. So eight to ten hours of running flat out. That's the biggest load by far unless you're running an electric water pump. </p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> People's bad experience with total loss has to do mostly with lead acid batteries. Electronics are generally designed to run at alternator voltage of 14V. With typical voltage drop an LA battery might drop to 11V at full load. LiPos start with a higher voltage and don't droop as much, so everything works better. </p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> Sent from my iPad</p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> On Jun 30, 2017, at 8:00 AM, D V <explore8@outlook.com> wrote:</p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> Elon?
