Re: Eclair ACL 14.4 volts on ACL HD motor
Eclair warned that 14V is the AMAX -- absolute maximum -- rating of the
motor. Although I know some recommend the use of 14 volt batteries for high
speed operation, my solution is to use a large, "stiff" 12V pack.

Mark, Had Sterling Batteries convert Eclair battery packs to 14.4 volts.
When fully charged, the packs show 16.5 volts. Will this burn up the
motor?
Is there anyone who rebuilds the HD motor? Is there a source for
purchasing
a used HD motor? By the way, Les is converting my 12.5 - 75 zeiss to super
16 format coverage. Thanks, Mercer
