decent gel battery for a motorbike be good enough to use in a car?

i only have the lighting circuit in the 3dr, no other elcetrics etc except for the ecu... was just wondering if one would be ok to start it, as i cant find any car ones on ebay lol

 

whats the spec, cold crank amps etc, id probably say no!

 

no it wont have enough cranking power

 

Are bike batteries not 8v and cars 12v?? or am I barking up the wrong tree

 

as above i doubt it will have the amps

 

something like this i guess

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Varta-YTX12-BS...3286.m14.l1318

12v 10ah 90en starting amps.

whats a car one do lol?

 

usually a good 300+ crank amps lol

 

You may get a.....click,click,click

 

arseburgers

nay mind, was only a thought lol

 

Wrong tree I'm afraid.

Old Volkswagen Campers had 6 volt electrics, but that's about it.

Fudgey, as above, not enough Amps to get the car going, especially from cold. Plus bike batteries can be very expensive.

How about something like a Micra battery? Lot of Evo owners use them as they are small but still have ooomph!!

Si

 

cheers si, it will be mounted int he boot tho, so ideally i want a gel, as if i bin it, i dont get battery acid in the face lol

 

"Wrong tree I'm afraid"

Cheers mate! Not sure why I thought they were 8v

 

did you see the caterham with the cossie at combe ? that had a little battery

someone must have a pic

Paul
