Hey all, been tooling around with the bucket and reckon there's weight savings to be had!
For example, the 12 volt, 7.2Ah, 2.5 KG battery that runs the total loss ignition on the RG/RX125...
The current battery (fully charged) is about good for a full days' riding. But I was thinking of running 8x1.5v AAs in serial (=12v).
Will this work?
Only problem I foresee is that at about 2200mAh, they'll probably last about 20 minutes on a charge...
So got thinking about the old Tamiya RC car battery packs and how we used to quick charge them off the car battery (15 minutes to full). If I used rechargeables, anything stopping me charging on the car battery between races?
Any reason this won't work, did I miss something? What do YOU think?
1. current battery
2. tamiya pack
