Re: Using the 12V 18AH Batteries in a car
You can "jump-start" the hybrid vehicle with a robot battery (or even with a couple of 6v lantern batteries). But I would not want to leave one connected full time in a system designed for a larger lead-acid battery. The charging circuitry is likely to be unsuitable for a robot battery.
