Battery recommendation for 52 flash please

[muskrat]

G'day fellas.
With Boyer ignition a 4ah battery will give me an hour if I don't touch the brake! Brakes only slow you down anyway!

I only fit Cyclons now days. You can't beat the spiral cell technology for robustness.

Yep, a truly fit and forget item.

Yep, a truly fit and forget item

didn't work out for me, I had three (6-volt bike and 12-volt bike) they all worked well for a while then lost voltage and would not charge back up to full 6 volt, can't recall all the facts now but maybe some went flat, they then become difficult to get charged, also note on my cordless mower (LI-ion) that the two batteries should not be used  together unless both are at the same level (voltwise) I used to swap the cyclon around a bit , might have had an effect

I'm goin to give Swarfy's cheapo Toolstation alternative a punt, as I need one quick and haven't got around to ordering one from Goffy yet and my local have one in stock. Even if it only lasts a couple of months it's only nine quid so nowt lost.
I'll report back on how well it works etc.

I've just measured my old battery and it seems that I can fit two of the toolstation batteries in the battery box, if I did this and connected them in parallel, would they still charge ok from the dynamo or is there something else I'll need to do? They are 6 volt 4a/h.
Kind of academic at the moment as they only have 1 in stock, but if it's a dead simple plug and play scenario I'll order a second one.
Cheers folks, and happy new yonk!

If my school science/maths is still relevant these days Minto I think you should end up with 6 volts 8 ampish

I do this with very similar cheap batteries in the Norton without a problem. I ran the A7 with them for a few couple of years without issue, but swapped out to a higher amp hour setup trying to improve the lights (that did not work).

This setup has been great, and those never discharge when left alone, and no risk of leaks.

Wicked!
I've ordered another one for next weekend.
God this battery is tiny!
Cheers guys
