Brief:
T' cheapest 12V sealed lead acid battery I've ever seen!!
Construction:
Parts list:
- 1 Tyco XFO ($10 from Dollar General)
- bullet connectors
- epoxy
I had this built in under 1/2 hour with basic hand tools.
- Remove XFO from its packaging.

- Remove 6 Philips screws from XFO chargin' station then remove front cover. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey!

- Locate and drill holes for female ends o' t' bullet connectors. Avast, me proud beauty! I drilled mine level with t' top o' t' battery on t' side t' wires are soldered to. Arrr!

- Clip and strip one battery lead betwixt t' circuit board and battery. Ahoy! Begad! Twist stripped ends together and crimp on a female connector.

- Repeat with other battery lead.
- Slide female bullet connectors about half way through holes from step 1 and tack with CA.

- Reassemble field charger and epoxy female bullet connectors in place from t' outside.

- Crimp on male bullet connectors t' battery leads o' your launch controller so it can receive power from t' XFO Field Charger.

- Charge XFO Field Charger for 14 t' 16 hours.
- Fly all day long!
This battery will ignite motors usin' Quest Tiger Tails, Copperheads, Solar Ignitors (singles and clusters at least up t' 5), and straight nichrome wire.
Summary:
Pros for this battery are its ability t' be modified for rocketry use and still be used for its original purpose, length o' time it can hold a charge under near constant use, and low cost.
Cons are its long charge time.
