Voltage On Rcd Starter

Whars The Easy (cheap) Battery Pack For An Rcd Blower Mount Starter? Will It Work On 24 Volts Or Needs More? Anyone Using A Small Import Car Style Battery?

 

I know the top alk drag boats use 3 small import size batteries Italked with Tim Stokes and he said it works fine and they are mounted approx 5 ft from the engine in the ft of the boat

 

the high $$$ batteries are great!!!!i guess??? all I have ever used is 3 lawn and garden batteries 36 volt i get the highest cranking amps that your local wal-mart sells and there you have it they will last us for 3 years. the charger we use is from our best friends golf cart...I hope they dont read this or they will want it back. but this has worked for usw for the last 10 years, and yes its a rcd starter. dave lowe

 

4 garden tractor batteries from napa I think they are 230 cca's each wired up for 48 volts , home made tray of angle aluminum that lines them up in a row between the front and rear seat on the golf cart . Total cost around $ 250-300 for everything including all wiring , spins the engine over just fine .

 

Good posts 2nd & Dques on a low buck approach for batteries !!!!!

 

just for the kicks I just got some new batteries at the first part of the summer and we spent under $80.00 that is using my tax id.. now that is what i call a Ferd Sanford deal. So now you have the extra $800.00 left over to buy some go fast parts. Dave

 

we use 3 lorry size batteries, to give us 36 volt, never had any trouble with this

 

I agree with 48 volts and garden tractor battries- the voltage drops through the cables, so 36 volts of battry ends up at about 30 volts at the starter--

 

We use 4 garden tractor batteries and replace them after about a year and a half, not so much because we need to, but just as a precautionary measure. 48 volts spins the RCD starter over just fine; of course we don't have the insane static compression most of you do, but it is real nice to spin the motor over fast.
In just about an hour we'll head off to the Holy Land. That is Bakersfield and the California Hot Rod Reunion. The weather looks to be spectaular and the numbers should reflect that. It'd be real nice to run a 5.70 something at this race, nobody has run in the '70's this year, and its about time.

Ok We Got 3 Lawn And Garden Variety
Try It This Weekend See What It Does

 

Batteries

Ok Tried 3 Lawn And Garden 12 Volt 200 Cca, Wired At 36 Volts, Fresh Stripped Littlefield(probably Too Tight) And A Fresh 572 Would Not Crank Fast Enough,mag44 We Thew Another 12 On It And It Did Ok. Think There Is A Noticable Difference By Upping The Cca From 200 To Like 230?

 

As I posted earlier--
"the voltage drops through the cables, so 36 volts of battry ends up at about 30 volts at the starter--"
use 48 volts--

 

After A Few Warmups The 36 Did The Trick
Blower Loosened Up A Bit Thanks All

 

Hey Shawn...Wal-Mart does wonders that 36volts been startin our 526 for years.Dave
