Please note: This product will NOT turn your recoil/pull start engine into an electric start engine. Your engine needs to have electric start already installed on it
Eliminate the need for heavy automotive batteries and battery leads when starting your engine!
This weather resistant cover utilizes a small, rechargeable 12v 2AH lithium-ion battery to start your 8hp to 16hp electric start gasoline engines!
This system allows the use of Hercules 12V lithium tool batteries as electric start batteries when used with the integrated battery-mount weather cover.
