The ofn10250 is also a grat bax. More money but ot has alot of easy adjustablity. Two 750 motors gived great power. The only possible drawback is the belt connection but it has a tensioner to help this situation. The sliding mount is nice if you have multiple cars.

a gel cell is just like the battery in your full size car, pick, suv, what you have. or a gel cell is aka lead aic battery. its much better then two stick packs.

if you want you can look on the RCU market, I bought mine from there for $87.00 shipped with gel cell, and two extra starter wheels.

Granted, most stick packs simply dont have the same capacity as a gell cell but its not a bad way to get some extra grunt out of your starterbox if you are having trouble turning over a super tight engine. Instead of 12V you are using 14.4V which gives a noticable increase in power.

If you have 12V out of two stick packs then you are using two flat packs.
