2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY

Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.

So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.

We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.

Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Battery question

Post by Manny Leung »

Hi just a quick question about batteries,l just bought 2 lead acid batteries for the Chieftain rated at 30 amp, Armortek recommend that 22 amp batteries should be used. Will they be safe to use on the tank with the higher ampeage?

They're probably 30 Amp/hour rather than 30 Amps, so that's a measurement of storage and not current.

30Ah will supply 30 Amps for an hour, 22Ah will supply 22 Amps for an hour, before becoming depleted.

So to answer your questions, yes they will be fine (I have them in the Centurion AVRE).

However, they're bigger than 22Ah, so if space is tight in the Chieftain, that might be an issue.

Adrian.
