Default RE: Miller RC "Persuader" giant scale starter

From what I understand about batteries and R/C starters is that the amperage is as important as the voltage, possibly moreso. With my Sullivan Dynatron I used to use the standard 12 v. 7 amp Hobbico battery, and it was a dog on engines bigger than a 2-cycle .60 or .90. When I went to a 12 v., 18 amp MC battery, it released awesome power! I'll try this first with Miller's Persauder. If it doesn't work then I'll add another battery in series to get the 24 volts.

By the way, does anyone know where to get a compact-sized 24 volt battery? I know they sell them for full scale aircraft, bu they are a bit big and heavy.
