Batteries arent that expensive, why don't you just buy one, it will be better than swapping batteries everytime you wanna go riding or cut your grass.

any battory will work. Once I even started a motor using over 100 volts. I took to whires pit them in a out let and then tou them on the starter whires and that thing started really fast. Lots of smoke and zzzzzz and melted metal but it started.

any 12 volt DC battery will work fine without burning up anything. A lawnmower or car battery is 12VDC. I dont think I would use yz426ex's method. Must have been too many "shots" before that brilliant idea!
