what battrey size do you guys use ?

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

Am having some problems with starting.

After some testing it seems that I either have a voltage drop or am running a small battrey. What size/amp do you guys use ?

Thanks in advance,

David.

Spam above.

I think the standard for all the 480 engines is 55Ah, I have a 65 in mine, 'because I can'.
