Let me just say I know zilch, zip, nada about LiPo batteries....I wouldn't even know where to begin.. I found that 3s LiPo on AMain, but I am unsure about which charger to get, or how to charge it once I get it.
Will this big clunky Hanger9 gel cell battery work? One thing that caught my eye was that motomatt said a fully charged 12v gel cell will be 13.1-13.6v, and in the CompHeat's instruction sheet, it says the voltage output should not exceed 11.5v??
Please help!
No problem... You can use your gel cell, just make sure the voltage is dropped down to 12.6V (As per the Instructions) We recommend 11.5V when using a Power Supply, reason being is it provides better heat saturation to the entire engine. Most would like somehting that heats ASAP, like a heat gun, problem is, it's not effective at heating the critical internals which is very important when they are new. After the first 2 gallons you can relax the heating standards somewhat.
My guess is you are using the battery to power your starter box along with the Comp Heater, yes?
