smokin2stroke Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 Have a msd ignition on my banshee, looking for a spare 7.2V battery. Thanks Quote
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 your best and cheapest bet is to go to a place that makes up battery packs for RC cars and cordless drills ETC. and have them make you an oversized one Quote

Fastrat Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 The nicad ones from a hobby store are supposed to last longer anyway. I was just reading it on the MSD site, and they say to get one from a hobby store for extended ride time. Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Just order the inline charger, that goes between the stator and voltage regulator. It will charge the battery as long as the RPM's are 3500+, plus at 3500+ RPM''s the ignition will run off of the stator, and not the battery. The charger is only about $30-$35, and it plugs right in.

fastbanshee8 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) Yes, MSD does have the inline charging circuit. I believe that's what they call it. I got my whole setup, from someplace in Texas, but I can't remember the name of the place. I found a site on the net, that has the part number and installation info. You may have to copy and paste it, but here it is; msdpowersports.com/pdf/frm26214_4214.pdf Should tell you everything you need to know. One thing I forgot to mention was that I have a 275 watt stator in my Banshee, and it doesn't take long to charge the battery. I do keep the charger I got from Radio Shack in my truck, when I go riding, just in case. If I'm in a hurry and the battery is dead, which has only happened twice in 3-4 years, I just plug it in for 10-15 minutes, and take off, but with that small of a charge in the battery, you don't want it to idle very long at all.
