[Lowfer] Rycom 6041 Battery Pack

[LEE BAHR]

Stan and other,

The battery type number is:  Enersys Cyclone 0809-0020.  They are 12 volts @ 
5 amps.  Size is:5.48 inches long,4.18 inches wide, and 3.02 inches high. 
Both connections are done on one end of the pack.  These batteries seem easy 
to obtain from many sources "on-line" but they are not cheap.  As I said, 
anywhere from $40 to $65 plus shipping.  A standard Jap gel cell at 12 volts 
and 7 1/2 amps can be purchased for around $20.  Big difference.  I'm sure 
the lead pack is a 6 cell unit.  (You can see wells for each cell as the 
case is not a simple 6 sided affair.  It almost looks like they used 6 D 
cells and wired them together).

Lee, w0vt
