Twin Battery models

[kamilb1998]

Just had a look in the shed and have found a working one  (I think) never used one so not sure how it works, but it has all the cables attached and it takes any key to turn it. Its prings back when you press the red button.

You are welcome to it, (i wont ever use it) e mail me your address if you want it.

PM'd!

[kamilb1998]

If you post it to me I'll happily fix it for you for the cost of a jiffy bag and a stamp!

Thanks for the offer, but I have emailed PLOD11 so there isn't much point fixing this one.

In the post tomorrow, worth keeping the old one might be of use to someone .....

Thank you very much PLOD, the keyswitch arrived in the post today - I will send you money to cover the postage and a pint for you mate

Fitting it was quite simple, the only thing that 'annoyed' me were the two different nut sizes inside the control box - one was an 8mm & the other was a 9/32. I undid the 8mm and then proceeded to undo the second one and after about 20 mins. of failing to turn the nut with an 8mm socket I tried a different size. 

Just need to fabricate the bracket to hold the second keyswitch when it's not in use.

Finished making the bracket. I will get some better pictures up soon.

My conversion appears to be working well & the range may have increased slightly too - 11 miles covered & I didn't lose any lights on the POD's battery conditon display.

That's a good range, it also helps you're quite lighter than lardy middle aged guys like myself....after a few more years though, once the booze and kebabs have taken their toll on your body , you'll find that the range on your c5 seems to suffer as well

There is a reason why Sinclair introduced the second battery option as it gives a much better performance as Kamilb is seeing and helps with the middle age transportation needs  The only downside I can see is you cannot carry a spare just incase battery but you always have them there pedals !
