Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:06 pm Post subject: Looking for a used PC680 battery for testing

I'm at the point of transitioning from a jury rigged power supply to "real" battery in place for ground testing. Does anyone have one (or two!) used PC680s they'd be willing to part with?



Also, I noticed that several types of terminal connectors can be used to connect battery to wire (I have the B&C welding wires). There's are "L" Adapters, screw on terminals, or bolts. What have others done in this regard?



Thanks,

Jay

Hey Jay,

  

 As far as connection goes, the PC 680's have a bolt (8mm if I recall) on  the top.  I used a standard crimp-on battery lug from B&C and bolted  both the hot and the ground on.  Pretty simple.

  

 Regards,

Thanks! Like most things in the build... It's obvious once you've done it once.

The PC680 comes with a 10mm bolt. Works well with standard B & C ends having a 5/16 or 3/8 hole. Sorry, mine is 4 years old but still works great. With a little care, the PC680 has a great life span. If you intend to fly in the next 3 years, drop the $125.00 and enjoy a new 1.

I found a 17AH SVLA battery at a computer hardware store for about  

$30. Its been running an electric gate for over five years with a  

Battery Tender Junior charger. I have a friend that has been running a  

similar computer store battery battery in a T-18 for several years.

Thanks to all that replied to my query. I'm going to find something local that's close enough.
