Lost the ignition on my DLE30 yesterday. I thought using an A123 battery with the battery eliminator was OK the guys at Troy Built say you need to use a voltage regulator also. Just ordered a new CDI and voltage regulator $130 later prblem solved
I just looked up the WRCIBE on the TBM website and there are three versions (1) for unregulated 5 and 6 cell Nimh/Nicd and 2 cell A123 batteries (pn WRCIBEF) and (2) for four cell Nimh/Nicd or any regulated 5-6 volt (pn WRCIBEF4C) and the last one (3) for unregulated LiIon/LiPoly (pn WRCIBEFION). If you had the P/N WRCIBEF4C version and used a 2 cell A123 then I can understand the failure and the statement by TBM that you also needed to use a voltage regulator however, if you used the version intended for use with a 2 cell A123 version P/N WRCIBEF then I do not understand. I am sure many of us would be very appreciative if you could tell us which version you had that failed. Thanks
