I 'm using a 6al digital with 8252 coil ,16 volt xs battery ,open motor.I have several of the analog 6al boxes, can you convert them over to the same connectors as the 6al digital so I can use them as spares.

Good afternoon, I currently don't stock any because we have not needed them. I will call around Monday to see if I can locate them. If we can get access to the connectors then swapping should not be an issue.

I am going to get a 16v battery. My question is this: Is the XS S1600(red one) a good choice? There are so many XS batteries just want to make sure to get the right one. The S1600 is the lightweight one that weighs around 30 pounds. There are other XS ones that have more cold cranking amps but weight around 48 pounds. Which one do most people use?

The s1600 if you use an alt. I used it without an alt. and it lasted about 2 years.The 48lbs batteries have lasted several years

Do most people run a stepdown regulator when using a 16v battery?

It would be recommended to use one for things like gauges and electric RF cut offs. Can it be done and do people do it, of course. Most aren't designed for the extra 16v and spikes of 18-19v can occur, especially if charging.

12v or 16v or both

Rock racing batteries have a really good product. They offer one with 2 positive post, one 12 volt and one 16 volt. A very nice charger too. Had a crate car with new 12 volt XS. Engine seemed to always be in a bind, like it was locking up after 10 to 15 laps turned out to be a bad battery. Went with a Rock batt and charger no further issues. Rock Batteries are made in the USA too!!
