Posted: 19:11 - 05 Mar 2024 Post subject: Smallest non-lithium 12V battery? |
|
|
On an ongoing search for the smallest 12V lead acid/AGM/gel motorcycle battery I can find.
Doesn't need to be big, just needs to be there and can be holding a minimal amount of charge, just needs to have enough to get the points sparking initially (and for reference, a PP3 9v battery will actually do this, it just wont cope with being charged at 12V). I've used capacitors and they function in a pinch but a dinky battery seems much more reliable.
Not lithium because the nature of the charging system is such I think it would kill them in short order, the alternator output is just too "dirty".
Smallest I have to-date is a FB4L-B which is 120L x 70W x 92H. I bet we can go smaller. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
