As stated above concerning the PS-2, 5 volt boards, being designed "closer to component limits" and weak faulty caps from 2000 to 2003, I stay away from using a BCR which stresses the charging system every time you start the engine and the BCR is dead. Not only that, they do not fit in the plastic battery holders in the engines or the casted-in area of a fuel tank. I have a BCR that I just removed from a diesel fuel tank of an engine I just purchase at York. It was cracked open because it was too long to fit in the casted-in seat. When the installer tightened down the hold down bracket, they broke the top of the BCR off. It still works fine just needs glued. FREE if anyone wants it. I personally feel safer installing a "fully charged" Ni-MH battery. The green MTH batteries are a very good quality and have a 120 mAh rating. An even better choice is the Tenergy, advertised with " low self-discharge". They make a 200 mAh and a more expensive 250 mAh. I also like their charger and how the indicator lights tell you when the battery is finished charging and switches into "maintain mode" if the batteries are left in the charger (for us people who forget about them). I would like to make a jumper wire with the proper plug ends to be able to use the Tenergy charger to charge a battery in the engine (if I didn't run it in a long time). When using the MTH charger, there is no way to tell when the battery is finished and it doesn't shut off when done. A battery may be done in 30 minutes, or it may need several hours. It's a guessing game. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=n...words=tenergy+9+volt
