Re: Ghurkin's motor job

That's the negative of most 100 amp hour batteries. Mine weighs 30 kg! I think different brands vary from 27 to 32 kilograms. Have a look at the everybattery website. They review most brands. I got recommended the remco one because it can be mounted on side, resistant to constant banging (ie wave po...

Re: Ghurkin's motor job

You either never used it or you have your numbers wrong... .3 of a volt :shock: Excuse the ignorance, but is .3v lots or eff all?
