What is everyone doing so they do not blow all of there light bulb when the battery is removed. I have a 2000 Scrambler 400 2x4.

 

Smokin', You can either use a White Bros battery eliminator kit (jumbo capacitor) or the X-Static thin film battery. I think HPD even sells these now...(my idea, puff,puff)been using one for a couple of years without a burp.

Ken, where do you get the thin film battery? HPD for the battery OR the eliminator kit? How much does it weigh and do you remember ho much the stocker weighs?

 

HPD now sells the thin film battery in the "Hot Off The Press" new catalog. I think White Bros. sells the eliminator directly. Rocky Mtn, or some other places probably stock it as well. As for wts. I think the stocker battery has to be over 5 lbs. I had originally tried two smaller 6 volt batteries in series, but things just didn't hold. The thin film is quick to recharge, and only weighs 2.5lbs. I run it up front secured below where the oil injection resevoir comes stock. You have to use a hobby store charger (800-1000mah)but that's the only caution.

So Modquad, it doesn't change off the quads internal charing system? I don't even know what that is. Stator or something?

They said they want $150 for theirs. It's probably like a $40 battery if they just solder some stuff together from the hobby store. I have a ton of planes and batteries out in the garage. I bet I can throw a combo together and offer it to you guys for a LOT less than $150.

They said theirs puts out 300A. Hmmm. 12V, 300A and about 2.5 lbs. I'll be back tomorrow with an answer.
