EpicLURcher Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hi, i run touring cars and need a large battery that i can charge my rc batteries off of and run my tyre warmers. Ive had a look at caravan batteries so i know roughly what i needd This will sound stupid, but im not sure how id physically connect my charger/tyre warmers to the battery! Is there some kind of mains socket you can run from it? And also ive read ill need to keep the battery cycling to keep it at its best, any ideas? And what size, ill want to have 2 people plugged in charging and warming, id like it to last a day will 80ah suffice? Many thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 What charger are you using most will come with input to crocodile clips for this exact purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Some charges run off of a 12v car battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurcyP Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Where does caravan battery plug into onto the hybrid pro? Wait till you get the charger through your door it will make sense pretty quickly then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicLURcher Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cool, thanks. Why did you sell yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayAVFC Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I ran a golf battery to charge batteries and power tyre warmers but the charge didnt last long so i now have a lorry battery we take to the track, it might be heavy but once its there it dont have to be moved untill the end of the day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayAVFC Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Sorry but I still find it funny that people buy tyre warmers for rc cars If you want to get that extra half a second per lap the the first few minutes they are needed so your tyres will be at the correct temperature for the start of the race. The problem i have is my car is 1/5th scale so they are custom made and cost Edited August 5, 2014 by JayAVFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cool, thanks. Why did you sell yours? Stopped racing for a while to fund the MX5..that was a mistake in hindsight but hey ho! ..still not racing now but do have some gear just none of my muchmore stuff was a brilliant charger though, its powersupply can run your tyre warmers, pit lamp all sorts..great kit.

ninjagaiden Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 At home!! It's official. Jony packs a big one! Kind of feel a bit inadequate after seeing that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicLURcher Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 What size do you reckon i should go for then? Id like it to last a whole day running warmers and chargers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayAVFC Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 What size do you reckon i should go for then? Id like it to last a whole day running warmers and chargers? Lorry battery or at least a car battery The thing is i use a lorry battery as my warmers draw a lot more power than 1/10th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicLURcher Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 So maybe around 80ah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
