Showdown Battery Question

[maddowg1192000]

The Showdown comes with a 12V 7Ah battery and I was wondering if anyone knew if you could run a 12V 8Ah battery with it instead?

That should work fine.

can you do that with any flasher? my ice35 came with a 12v 7ah battery and i have an extra 12v 8ah battery that i want to bring along as a backup. will this work?

Yes. As long as the voltage is the same your just fine. Im pretty sure the higher the rated amp hour (ah) the more time you get between charges.

This is the theory, but not always true. Depending on manufacturer, a 4ah battery could outlast another mfg's 7ah rated battery. Google will give you plenty of literature on amp hours and how they really measure battery life.

All you need to worry about is that its a 12v battery when matching it up with your devices.
