Default OS160FX "Starting the Engine question"

You need a gel cell with a high amp rating to start the bigger motors. That initial amp dram from starter motors especially on the bigger motors is to much for most standard "hobby size" gel cells. I purchased a 12 AH gell cell from Interstate Batteries and have yet to see something it wont do. I could prolly jump start my Ford F-250 with the V-10 in it!!!
