I am having trouble understanding your question.

car battery (12 volt) may be too high for the easy start. Any 6 cell nicad or nimh 7.2 battery will work. If you had a way to drop the voltage from the car battery it will work good. Maybe a electronics person will let us know what you need, a large resistor? possibly?

Situation is that I got my revo, and only thing that I'm missing is charger for 7.2V NiCad battery that goes in Ez starter, and maybe I'll have to wait for a whole week to arrive :-(
Now I'm thinking how to avoid that NiCad battery, and get power from something eles into Ez start system.

If I have a way to drop voltage from the car battery to 7.2v, that would be ok? I wouldn't fry something in Ez start system or in Revo?


EDIT: I have found some adapter that gives output of 7.5V and 1000mah. I'm thinking to connect that adapter to EZ start system, and try to start my revo. Would that be ok?

Using a adapter with 7.5 DC volts and 1000 ma will probably not power the easy start, but you can use it to charge your 7.2 battery (nicad). If your battery is dead then plug it in for about 2 hours or until the battery gets slightly warm. The battery is full charged when warm. This may get you by until you find a charger.

Also dropping the voltage from the car battery to 8 volts or less will power the easy start directly . I just don't know how to do it.
