Save yourself the drama of a charging system and run total loss with a Lithium battery. Box it comes in is heavier than the battery, get an hours run time on a TZ 350 with 2 coils, take 5 mins to charge(no special charger needed) and they send them in the post , $90 with a 2 yr replacement warranty

Sounds too good to be true...

So they like Shorai without all the religion attached.

As Speed pro pointed out the other day soon we will just get the battery a few FETs and a not petrol motor

What Lithium Ion size/rating battery do you use to get an hour run time on a twin Lozza ?

Was gonna ask the same thing. Must be a tiny little bugger.

The Shorai in our ZX12r sidecar lasts longer than that...including starting the thing!

I think they are better than the Shorai but probably very similar. There isn't any A/h rating Wob just a CCA we normaly use 90CCA that's what the gezzer who runs the company recommended, been sweet so far. Really notice the difference with electric starters the engine just bursts into life. Can be mounted in any orientation and light enough not to upset handling.. There is only 1 'must do' that is store the battery full of charge, it holds a charge for 2 yrs. They don't 'go flat' they just give a miss then a cough then stop. Biggest they sell if for a top fueler 16v and 1600CCA

I'm pretty sure I saw one of these years ago used to start a blown methanol dragster. It was only about 6" square and cranked it right up. Very impressive.

The thing with the dimensions too is that it is just standard lead acid size packaging, on the Shorai ones I've looked at anyway. The actual battery is more like a couple of "D" cells.

They don't handle being over-discharged nor being over-charged but the electronics included in the pack takes care of that. As stated, their minimum charge times are amazingly quick, measured in minutes not hours.

Thanks for the pointer and just double checking, is that the third battery down the page that your talking about?

[TerraRoot]

The detail you need after cutting thorough the marketing guff, is LiPo battery with BMS.
lithium-ion polymer with a battery management system. get that and your sorted. you could run a better fuel pump.

you can build yer own out of RC hobby batteries, with something like BMSafe, but i'd just buy one of the above, the explosions are pretty impressive if you get it wrong.

Second the Lithium series

Anyone got any ideas if they can be bought here? The last indication on RRP I had for the smallest Shori was double that figure. Wouldnt mind one for the sidecar.

[2T Institute]

Should be able to be shipped via Aust Post that's how I get them

Hi Wob!

As I can see, you are interested in gokart engines as well, so I'd like to ask if you don't mind!

Do cylinders with 3 transfer ports exist in categories KZ1-2 and KF1-2-3?
According to homologation drafts there is a type of cylinder which has 3 transfer ports. I haven't seen such cylinders since the categories ICA and FA have been disappeared.
Neither the old ICC engines had 3 transfer ports, nor the homologation drafts contained such things, but now they come up in KZ category.
It is a little bit funny a 125cc gears engine with 3 transfer ports, isn't it?

Do you have any kind of experience about these engines? What are these engines like? What are their characteristics?

Thanks!

[wobbly]

No I havnt seen any 3 port designs for the gear class karts at all.
What is the homologation number where you have seen this.
Very surprising if someone has done a 3 port, but as it stands the Italian kart factories are still well behind in detail areas
that were so successful in the Thiel inspired Aprilia cylinders with 5 ports.
Makes it easy for me to build engines that are faster than anything TecSav can come up with.
