[doc] Battery Matthew, I’ve got one of these
battery condition thingimys..In fact I’ve got two….my first onefrom Halfords
for about £19 and the second one this morning for £3 from the car boot sale! Chris Parnham -----Original Message----- Thanks for all the advice, I actually bought a Battery for a
Volkswagen Golf TDI and it works a treat (only cost £31.00). I also
purchased a battery conditioner that is permanently linked to the battery and
has a jack plug popping out of the battery compartment cover. This plugs into
a mains device that slowly tops-up and uses battery power to fool the battery
that it is working - thus increasing the life of the battery and ensuring
that the battery is on full charge every time I power the beast up!!!!!!!!!!!! -----

[doc] Battery You can get
the AC Delco ones from the Diesel Centre for under £50 - the same one Dave has
been getting from his local place - the ones with the screw terminals If you want a
really high quality battery, check out www.dmstech.co.uk
and look at the Hawker SBS 40 or equivalent Red Top (I think they're 45Ah).
These are used in aircraft, and have a short circuit current of some 1400A -
this is the "cold crank" rating on a car battery. They are sealedgel
cells and are expensive. This is why I just went for an AC Delco. A lotof
Robot Wars entries use the Hawkers - our robot draws in excess of 500A during a
fight. Martin Matthew

it and it looks like the original owner got to work on it with a stanley knife
to cut bits off it to fit into the battery recess. My friendly
auto-electrician (who wired up my battery cut-off switch - Chris) recommended a
battery of average quality as batteries tend to deteriorate if they are not
used regularly.
