yea, I agree, there should be enough torque there to start the motors I have. nothing special or too big about them,....just average 2 strokes. I"m beginning to wonder if my charger is taking a dump.....I doubt I got two bad batteries at the same time !..... I get good voltage when I test them with a digital meter. usually those small cycle batteries are feisty little buggers, when they're brand new and fully charged.
