Hello folks

Im new here and new to BEC and have a question. What battery are you using? Ive got a mid engine BEC.

N1

Have used a standard bike battery matching the requirements of the donor bike (12AH I think).
Benefits are light weight and cheap.

Since I went to EFI I had a few issues with variable voltage so changed to a PC680. Much heavier thought.

I just use a small bike battery, had no issues and it's been there for years.

bike specific battery. mines 14ah.

Thanks for the replies. Im using a zx10 battery out of my bike at the mo. Can the pc680 be layed flat as it dry cell? How much heavier are we talking?

I had a gel battery last year, my understanding is they can be positioned anyway/anywhere. Could be wrong though.
Wasnt any lighter than my wet battery but a damned sight more expensive and needs certain type of charger.
So long as you can keep 'wet' upright, its a far cheaper and equally good battery.

Looks like a bike specific battery it is then

you dont neccesarally need the exact one from the donor, just get the right ah and terminal layout.
