12 volt batteries

finaldark · #1 03-08-2007, 18:32

I'm doing a summer project and was wondering who makes the batteries that come in the kit, and where i can possibly buy one. Any help would be appreciated.

The batteries in the kit are the ES17-12, manufactured by MK Battery. They have a list of distributors/warehouses on the website.

If you're doing this just for a summber project, and don't need that specific FIRST legal battery, they are cheaper SLA (sealed lead acid) batteris available.

Please note that they're more or less standard motorcycle batteries. Unless you need your summer project to be FIRST legal, you can quite probably find a perfectly acceptable substitute at a local auto store or something. Probably for a lot less if you'd need to get it shipped from somewhere else.
