honestly, ive never used 12v's, so im nnot too sure

i called ed at kindkables to get a quote on one of his 12v systems too, just to get the feelers out there too

does a charger come w/ that???

also, now that i9 think about it, 10a maybe too big, tho i doubt it

i'll let ya know what i hear from ed too

Are these big 10ah ALOT bigger than the 7.2 ones?

Ohhhh, somewhere around 28% bigger.

Rats.  It would've been funny if I'd gotten my math correct.  Doh!!  The 7.2AH is 28% smaller than the 10AH, but the 10AH is 38% bigger than the 7.2AH.

  OK but is that in weight or just battery capacity? Stupid Question maybe, but I'm willing to spar a bit.

Yes and yes.  For an idea of how size and weight change from low capacity to high capacity, check out PowerSonic's 12v SLA page - they have dimension and weight specs for each size SLA.  Not specifically 7.2AH and 10AH, but you'll get the idea.

stearnskid, i may have to pass on those then, my back is already FUBAR'd

but i'll let you and brian know what i find from kindkables too, if that price isnt right, i'll prolly take your batt brian, that is if you sell;-)and i feel like soldering

[Sterling]

Thanks Brian, you've KO'd me as usual  , I'm gonna go   now, the yellow perch are out on the lake Woo hoo!! Have a good weekend.

So this big mutha (12V 12ah) weighs 10.7 pounds! The 7.2 should only be like 6 pounds and a little less wide, BUT if I can get a whole weekend out of one of those batteries for both the UA5 and JB3 then....I think its time for some tests.

Good thing I'm so freakin jacked up and can handle these batts (hee hee)

[fozzy]

my first test failed.  only got 5hrs and 17 minutes till the JB3 locked up.  The fuse had blown on my SLA charger and my 12v had not recieved a full charge.  The fuse now has now been wrapped in  protective tin foil to prevent it from blowing.  

I will try again this afternoon when the SLA is good to go.  Found the camera so i'll get some pics up.

[F.O.Bean]

do you have the creative car kit or the rat shack adaptaplugs??

if you have the rat shack stuff, im staying away from it for that very reason

[fozzy]

radio shack but the fuse i lost was an old cell phone charger plug hacked into the wallwart SLA charger.  I would imagine the creative has a fuse as well.
