Simple Battery question ?
Hi group a VERY simple question for you ... (Hopefully)
I've got a Headlight which I use for fishing. It uses a 6Volt 4ah Sealed Lead Acid battery. My queation is can replace the battery with a SLA of a 6v 4.2ah. My limited understanding of this is that the "ah" is the amount of charge it holds and for how long...and maybe it has little effect of compatability as long as its a 6VOLT battery. Is this correct ? Cheers Ian |

Is this correct ? yes, pretty much. In rating batteries there's also cold cranking current, but that won't be an issue in this application. Bye. Jasen |
