SLA batteries ASAP
Hi I'm looking to buy some good SLA 18Amp batteries for Saint, Technobots is having difficulty with its supplier at the moment and I'm down to just 2 sets (I like to have 3 or 4 sets ready to go) If you are going to Maidstone tomorrow could you bring them (preferably charged) that would be great.
Thanks

Hey,
I have a couple of 12V 13Ah hawkers sitting in my shed not doing much? I may also have an 18Ah hawker as well. I did have two but one gave up the ghost

Re: SLA batteries ASAP
Many thanks for all the kind offers of Hawker batteries, I have found they don€™t work very well in Saint I think the insides of these batteries are a little fragile for Saint. :uhoh:
The ones I am looking for are the grey electric vehicle type like Technobots sell made by Camden or Haze,
I have been trying to get them from Technobots but they have been having real problems with their supplier. :shock: So I was looking for a couple of these batteries second hand to tied me over till Technobots can supply me with some new units.
thanks

Re: SLA batteries ASAP
Craig, you can get the Camden batteries from CPC, Rapid or JPR Electronics. I think Rapid were the cheapest if i remember but they dont seem to have either type in stock (i tried about a month ago and struggled) but CPC show them in stock, but they are abit more expensive. CPC also do some cheap SLA chargers, i got a 5amp 24v on for about £40 and seems to work fine.

No worries. Lol I'm surprised they couldn't survive, these ones survived the inside of typhoon 2 :)

Re: SLA batteries ASAP
We had alot of problems with the hawkers failing in Merlin, at one point we were scrapping one a fight. We changed to nicads and never had a problem, i know alot of people were saying that the quality had dropped in later years. The best thing about them though is the huge currents they deliver and fast charge times.
