Gardner Engines and the effect of flat batteries.

- Why are flat batteries such a bad idea? Surely a flat batter, with low voltage, can do no damage to a Gardner Engine's starter?
The opposite is true and here we take a look at why this is the case.
Thanks Joe. I always wondered why low voltage increased current. Now I know.
I thank you for that information. I always thought the opposite was true. That's critical info to know, tks for that Joe. I will always pay more attention to that fact in future to avoid a costly future issue.
Very interesting Joe thank you
Thank you. I've learned that a starter can have less resistance than a gnome. Every Gardner should have a gnome.
Great explanation 👍🏼
Fascinating, I never expected that to be so deep
Another informative video from joe
Voltages are not "generated". Currents - amperages - are. And it takes a LITTLE more than just "waving" a "magnet" past a "wire".
Thanks from Canada where one day I hope to own a Gardner and perhaps it may be in a fine (older) vessel
I remember trying to get a 8l3 going in Bridlington harbour on a very cold February day with a lazy starter. You’d of thought it was a foggy day too 😂
Thanks, I enjoyed your explanation 👍
Joe, do you have any opinion on running Shell GTL fuel in Gardner LWs? Any change of o-ring leakages perhaps?
The low voltage also greatly increase current. A 4kw motor alway will draw 4kw wether its at 13volts or 8volts just more amps
That's only because of the phenomenon described in the video. A purely resistive load will have its current drop along with the voltage, such that the power drops with the square of the voltage.
Mr Awawe ;-)
Now that’s an exellent explanation!
