Default Attached starter battery??

Looking for the best set-up for a starter battery attached to the starter(like the one sold by hobbico). What have you guys had the best luck with?

Get the Sullivan PowerPac. It uses 12 sub-C nicads and gives you 14.4 volts which is more than the Hobbico does. If you put large capacity nicads ( I have 3000 mah in mine) in it you'll be able to start the larger 4 strokes and many gas engines. It comes with a charger.

Or if you want to be really cheap - mount a 12V-7AH gell cell sideways tied onto the starter with big tie-wraps. Looks like h*** but works.
