Oh - The reason I bought them.. Well, they're NiMH, and 7.2V, and 6Ah... so basically, they're enough to run my TwinStar!

I figure that one of them will run the TwinStar, the other 3, I can use for something else when I get around to playing with stuff... 7.2V won't bother the bike's 6V electrical system, and I can wire in LED's in place of all the lights for 7.2V instead of 6.

The Modules are approx 1/2 of the Ah rating of the flooded lead acid battery that came OEM on the TwinStar, but lighter, smaller, and dry, all of which are huge pluses.

OTOH - I'm still going to see about washing the OEM battery that came on the TwinStar and seeing if I can revive it with new sulfuric... Just for kicks, I guess.
