Good one B&D, if you had one of those would you "burn" down the track LOL.

| We use a big, I believe 1150cca commercial battery from NAPA. We mount it out front so we really don't worry about it's weight.

| Optima makes a really good one... Used to have one in race car. With electric fan, and no charging system, worked very well!!! Just need to keep a battery tender on it when not in use

| I have have the best luck with jell batteries like they use in boats if you have them up front on your weight bracket.That being said when i went to MSD box i gave up and strated runnin an alerantor.I dont have mine hooked that way put you can put a switch on them and shut it off while you are pulling and then turn it on and let it charge when you are not hooked to sled.

| I have my alt on a switch. It will charge a lot more. It is a little Nipp one without a regulator. Type in smart batteries L-Lion (spe lling) I think a 40 anper hr one just weights 15 lb.

| Careful when pouring high current and high voltage into any battery, lithium in particular.
If the battery is warm to the touch, it's plenty.

| I'm not using a L-Lithium battery in any of our tractors, But would like to in my golf cart. 3 of them are $1800 and the charger is 600 more. If you go for the 100 amper hr. ones they are like $6000 Maybe they will get cheaper! Vic

| you would want a new one and make sure it has a high cca. rating so it last a while till able to charge it.
and is this on diesel or gas as a gas will run down a batt. way faster.
worked with tractors for years that dont charge, just make sure your batt is fully charged at start of day.

| The gas one may take a bit less to start, but the gas burns power the whole time its running-for spark-....diesel dont.
