<div>Best starter Ive had is the Kavan, best starter battery combination Ive had is the Kavan and 7.5ah gel cell. This starts a YS 1.60, or Webra 1.60 easy...and charge just a few times a year. The incovenience of the size of the gel cell overcomes the smaller size of the NIMH or NIcad packs by the reliability and capacity of the gel cell. </div> <div> </div> <div>Ive seen the Central in use and it may be strong but looked a little cheesy. <BR><BR><B><I>Tom Simes <simestd@netexpress.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><BR>http://www.centralhobbies.com/Electrical/starters/compact.htm<BR><BR>Has anyone had a chance to compare these two?
