Size of battery needed for Ignition Engine - O&R 60
I'm restoring an old Reuhl boat. It will be display only but I want to set it up somewhat correctly. I will be using an O&R 60 ignition motor using a coil and condenser.
My question is....what battery set-up would be appropriate? I want to get a vintage battery holder for it, but what size batteries? A couple "D" Cells?
What would be the impact of using smaller or larger size battery.
Thanks for insight!

Re: Size of battery needed for Ignition Engine - O&R 60
I run my ignition engines with a Smith Firecracker coil. The battery holder is for two AA batteries. Using a larger say D size probably wouldn't be a issue as the larger battery is just larger with the same voltage. All the battery retainers I've come across have been for AA batteries. Those boats are very elegant.
