[SEL] Battery source

[Larry Evans]

Hi.....

Harbor Freight has a 500,000 candle power cordless spotlight on sale in 
their retail stores (at least here in California) that has an easily 
removable 6 volt lead acid battery.  There is a built in charger in the 
body of the flashlight with both 110 vac and 12 vdc adapters.  The battery 
seems to work just fine on low tension ignitions but haven't tried it yet 
on a high tension system.  At a cost of $7.99 it seems like a pretty good 
deal for a battery and charger that you can incidentally use as a spotlight 
between engine shows.  Unlike many of these hand held lights it has a screw 
off back for access to the battery.  The battery is about 2 x 2.5 x 4 
inches.  Their item number is 43972 and the catalog my brother has claims 
the price is good to 12-6-04.

I have no connection with Harbor Freight but thought this might be of use 
to someone.
