I was thinking of picking up a couple of these to run the Comet with...

I might also get a few for my early Tiger 1 which is in the process of being rebuilt. Can anyone comment if these will work OK with the Comet and the Early Tiger 1?

PS Will I need one or two per tank? Two I suppose will extend the running time

Hi Pete.

You'll certainly need two batteries, to give you 24V.

Those that you have listed look a little on the small side to me. I use a pair of 22Ah batteries for the Sherman, which is a similar size to the Comet.

I think the Tiger may benefit from larger still, though I don't have a runner to confirm that.

Hi Pete,

You should go for "Deep Cycle" batteries that you can find under the "golf trolley" heading like this one http://www.hardwarexpress.co.uk/golf-ba ... 1683-p.asp and further

Pete,

I agree that deep cycle are the most suitable, I use deep cycle gel batteries in all my models, and I go for the largest that I can fit in the available space (within reason - up to 45ah). I don't know what the Comet will take yet, once I get the option pack in I will see what room is then available.

Thanks for putting me wise guys, much appreciated!

Hi

The recommended battery size for the Comet is the standard 20AmpHour units, as used in the other tanks.
