    FYI — although it’s been mentioned above,if you’re going to have the battery in the same enclosure as the electrical stuff (solenoid and / or starter button), you must have a sealed (no maintenance) battery or very, very good venting for the enclosure. The charging battery will give off hydrogen gas, which will ignite in the presence of a spark when the H2 concentration is as low as 4%.
