Re: Battery Voltage

[Bryan Savage <basavage@earthlink.net>]

I just remembered one more possibility.
Sintered plate aircraft batteries. Sintered plates have enormous surface 
area
and that's what determines the max current. A small 12V sintered plate
NICAD aircraft battery will spin the hell out of a 400 inch Continental 
because
at about 400 amps the voltage only drops to about 10 volts. The sintered
plates have very low resistance because of the huge surface area.
Cost --- I have no idea but they wouldn't be cheap ($$$).
