SLA for a Konig ?

What sort of of amp/hour should I be looking at for a 5 unit battle ship (Konig)
It seems like I could fit 1 SLA 9-10 amp/hr without totally dominating all my weight & Still build like a rookie.

Ideas?

Running a single motor w/ Viper 20. 4 solenoids & a pump. Looking for a 12 volt system (for the solenoids)

 

I'm running 2 6v 12amp for 6v 24 amp in my Konig.

 

same for me two 6v 12amp

 

So would I be able to get away with one 10 amp battery?...or will it fall short on battle day?

 

It really depends on the current draw from your motors(drive and pump, solenoids are negligible) but I doubt that 10AHr is enough. Do you have any idea what current your motors draw under load? Most class 5 and greater ships run 20+, class 4 ships can be a little tricky to get enough juice in due to weight and space constraints, generally speaking. Remember you don't get to change battles between sorties like the little ships do.

 

time to rethink batteries

 

OK, new thought...

I already have the solenoids. (they run best on a 12 volt system) but the 6 volts seem to have more amp per pound than the 12 volt batteries.

Is it possible to run the motors on the tandem 6 volt batteries running aprox. 24 amp hours, and run the solenoids at the same time (through a different wiring harness off of the same batteries) as a 12 volt system? I'm not an electrical engineer (as my photo shows) so any help is appreciated.

I run my solenoids off of the house 6volt system with an extra receiver battery wired in in series for 12 volts. My friend has a 12v AAA battery pack wired up out of nihm's for firing solenoids.

 

Thanks Ice, that makes sense.

Today I asked a physics teacher how to do it, and he said it was very possible...(with three batteries.)
