they do some 12v 7ah ones,which are ideal for running starter boxes and power panels off.
glow starters are only 1.2v tho not 12v,unless you mean a 12v starter panel with glow support on it. dave |

you shouldnt use a car battery charger to power a 12v item,they are intended for charging only,not to act as a power supply as they will most likely be unregulated.
just get a 12v 7ah lead acid battery and a suitable charger(jp make one) dave |

you need a 12v lead acid(pb) battery charger,a normal car battery charger will cook it.
