Gentlemen, I have two 12 volt 18 amp batteries I plan to purchase for my Late Tiger 1. Does anyone know if this will be enough to run the tank for 30 minutes maximum? If not 30 minutes how many?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Ramon

Try and get bigger if you can. 30 mins is about right for those batteries but if you are running smoke aswell even less than that. Also it depends on what you are running on. Hard surface a tad longer but wet and muddy or long grass less time. You will also find that as you put running time on every thing will loosen up and therefore giving you longer running times. It's also good to have a spare set if you are at shows etc. Just enjoy giving them a run.

Thanks Lee!

Hello Ramon,

I Have in my KT and tiger 1 two batteries from Pannasonic 12V 22Ah. 109 euro for 1 battery. It is not cheap but they are very good.
The longest time so far is about 1u30 min. and the control light on the
power suply module was still green. But its like Lee says it depends on what ground
you drive, pivot turns ,mud steep hills ....

regards Yves

if you are fitting the new drive system you might get more

Thank you gentlemen!
