Default Re: FIRST BUILD - Fitting 8 batteries where only 6 fit

Lets just compare the best to the best for the simplest explanation. I will use Crown Battery specs.
6v CR225 = 225 amp hours x 8 = 1800 ah
8v CR190 = 190 amp hours x 6 = 1140 ah
difference of 660 ah or 3.5 more 8v batteries worth of capacity.
I hope this helps

well ill take the extra amps, lead, and drive time over worrying about my extra 130 lbs of rolling weight. Scottyb made all the points i needed to go with the 8/6v set up.

So im building my mount and heat sinc for my new controller and HD siliniod. I found some scrap 3/16 aluminum plate laying around the shop, had to weld 2 pieces together to make the plate for the controller to sit on. I needed to lay down a few practice beads before jumping into it cuz im normally welding steel all day, i dont do much aluminum work, so be easy But welding aluminum is FUN!!!! Had the new Miller almost tapped out!
