Can these batteries be used with a Lucas MCR regulator?

Cyclon batteries I use myself but only with solid state Reg/rec & I think that's the recommended set up.
Its states that in the link I'm posting below (they sell Cyclon batteries) the chap who runs the site is very helpful.....

I ran Cyclon batteries with an MCR2 on one of my bikes for about 7 years without any problems...Also I have the same set up on my M20..although the battery is now flat as my dynamo packed up a while back, so may now be US. I'll find out when I put a new dynamo in shortly...I know theoretically they shouldn't be allowed to drop below 4 volts....Ian

Every one of my bikes has a Cyclone battery fitted whether it's an original MCR1 or one fitted with an electronic unit. Ron

Ok, if it worked for Ian and Ron I will give them a try.

Roger, for me its all about the fact they are sealed, I've also bought my last 2 cyclons last year for £8 each off a site called "Ebid" so I didn't have to pay over the top either.
My experience of the first one I got in about 2004 was so impressive I don't consider the runny/vented type now.

I've got to buy batteries for my M20 as none were present when I got it, I've had a quick look on the Internet but where do you source these Cyclone batteries from?

I buy all mine from Mick Ash at the jumbles. I bought another 5amp Cyclon from him yesterday at Shepton for £17. The lager 8 amp batteries are about £20 I think. These still fit inside one of Ian's WD battery box's or you can fit two 5 amps. Mick will be at Kempton as usual on 23rd March at the top of the slope past the burger bar.

He's a nice bloke and his Cyclones are about half the price of others I've seen on the internet. He also sells Morris's oil which I always use at about £17 5ltrs. Although someone else had it at £16 yesterday. Ron

Is it just one of these batteries I need, it's just arrived and looks a bit small for the requirements it has.

It's probably a 5 amp battery, which is all I ever use on a magneto bike. I can confirm if you give me the measurements of yours.

That sounds right Julian. I usually fit the 5 amp version which is only about 70mm tall. I wrap them in bubble wrap to keep them cuddled up in my dummy battery box's. It's also a good idea to fit an in-line fuse. These bikes only need a battery for lights and horn. I have fitted an 8 amp to my Indian 741 which is coil ignition though. Ron
