Chris
in my Lifan gumph it says 12v 18ah min battery so I bought a Yuasa 22ah golf trolley / electric wheelchair battery - a nice product but very heavy. I can just pick it up with one hand !
However over at the builders meeting at Steves recently, he has a small motorcycle battery of around 9ah if I remember and he said it worked fine.
So a fraction of the cost and weight - I suppose the bigger battery will keep it's charge longer.

Tech Forum / Starter battery requirement
« Last post by christopher kaminski on 11 Mar 26, 06:32 pm »
Just wondering what people's opinions/recommendations for batteries to run the starter motor.  I think the recommendation is 18a/h, seemed a bit overkill to me but electrics are my weakest skill. So I'd like to know what others can tell me. Also is there any amount of self charging or do you need to keep the battery topped up between meets.

Interesting that the starter has come back. It's on the original Stevenson pages. They used marine quality pulleys.

Looking good so far Jim. I tried a recoil start inside the wasp but got fed up with bashing hands elbows on steering wheel & everything else. Didn’t think to put it outboard,😀 Probably steel that idea for the Monoposto.
