I'm considering adding electric start to my Ram50/Tohatsu motor. I've never had trouble hand cranking my motor, but adding electric start would be helpful for modified LeMans starts (like Top O'). My question is, what size and type battery is commonly used by you guys? I know nearly everybody uses a small battery and mounts it inside the cowling neatly. But I just wanted to find out the specifics to save myself a little trial and error. Thanks!

I just spoke to Alex last week, but forgot to ask about battery stuff. I can give him a call. I wanted to get some opinions from various people anyway. Has anyone had experience with Lithium Ion "Smart Batteries"?

Jeff,
I have seen Alex's setup. His battery is a small Lithium Ion one. It spins the motor over very nicely, i don't know the brand though.
I was too busy checking out the third generation Bass tower he had on the engine..... I am putting a Full Spectrum P1 lithium ion battery on my Formula E engine. it's 130 cranking Amps, and measures 4.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inches and weighs under`a pound.
