Battery choice for vehicles with electric reverse
woodsy144 - 28/9/20 at 06:30 AM

Hello All,

Would like to get some feedback about what sort of batteries people are using for vehicles that use electric reverse?
Initial thinking is car battery, something along these lines.

I used a Varta B34, was never a problem, the bike engine kept it charged and I still have it fitted with the Jag engine, 6yrs later.

I second the point about the effectiveness or otherwise of electric reverse in previous posts; the one in my Phoenix could just about cope for a few yards on a flat tarmac surface but any kind of slope it couldn't cope. This time round I'll probably go with the Elite mechanical reverse box.
