Default RE: Starter trouble


ORIGINAL: ro347

I've sctually been thinking og going cordless for next season with 2 7 cell packs. At the moment I'm using a 12v sealed battery.

My issue here is I want to pinpoint the prblem here before I go on making upgrades. I've been using this starter for 3 years with no issues. Like I said before, I thought it was my battery, but it wasn't. I might just give in and buy a tm180. Don't know if its worth the trouble. But the 2 7 cell packs look tempting. I have a few 3 cell lipos sitting around, could I use a pair of these? 11.1v 2100 packs.
I've never run it at 22v, but I believe others have.

I've been contemplating using some older style ( 10C ) 18v 5000mAh LiPo's I picked up for a song at a swap meet.

I've always have had problems with 12v sealed batteries on these things and switching to higher voltage racing NiMH packs cured it for me.
