can someone recommend me a decent battery
my battery is still losing charge and struggled to start the fury if not fully charged so can anyone recommend a decent lightweight battery which will
be good enough to start the 919 blade motor? cheers

The ones Russbost sells are certainly lightweight.

I'd worry about this new technology in a fibreglass car (Boeing Dreamliner?).
Odyssey pc680 works well for me.

Another vote for the Odyssey PC680.
Last time i looked there was a Bike shop up in Yorkshire that was the cheapest and i found them using Google.

I can match prices with the Odyssey range in terms of cranking power etc. & the Li Ion batteries are around 5 - 15kg lighter depending what spec
you're looking at. The only way they will catch fire is if you set fire to the casing - not the same technology as the dreamliner batteries,
TTBOMK there are no disadvantages in terms of use on a kitcar & many, many advantages
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Just a thought, blade regulators are rubbish and the standard spade connectors continually overheat, are you sure your charging circuit is good?

i think so mark. the builder was absolutely meticulous and the regulater is mounted directly under a small fan that runs as soon as ignition is
pressed. it runs relaively cool to be honest

Hi Daniel
Recommended battery for the 919 blade is our part no. Lip010B, £136.99 normally I can do 10% off if we're dealing direct so £123.29 & £7.95
P & P. That's about a tenner more than a redtop 25 & over 5Kg lighter - I reckon you'd save the tenner in fuel over a years use!
Cheers Russ

Have to say from your other post and this that there must be a question over charging. Can you swap the battery with a known good one to test and
maybe fit the one from the kit in another vehicle to double test?
