No there is no problem with using the 18 volt battery with a cheapie starter however much more voltage and you force a hydrolocked big fourstroke what will happen on some brands is the contactors in the switch will weld together or become interminttant. This happens in the switch not the motor.



I think I have convertered over ten of the them now for the fellas in addition to my own starters
Some of these cheapies have tiny little points on the switch plates and these are the ones that can have problem if you go over 18 volt and force locked engines.

We are approching almost a hundred percent of the actiive flyers using various combos with this battery. There is a reason for that: Its cheap, it is not difficult to handle, it works well for a wide variety of engines if not all, its super simple to convert and most of all working together with geared manual pumps on the fuel can and pocket type ignitors it eleminates redundant, expensive and dangerous power panels with big batterys in a flight box that is so difficult to lug around.


Gringo Flyer the wiring is as simple as can be. One wire with two conductors comes out the back of your starter. There are two blade connectors on the battery. All you need to do is connect each of the conductors that come out of the battery to the two blade that are on the battery. Solder or use a female blade crimp connector what ever.

If your motor spins the wrong direction you simply reverse the two leads from the starter to the blades on the battery.

Any manner of additional plugs can be installed to connect to a charger or simply use alligator clips whatever.
