The pros are what cgiese stated. I did burn up 2 CSR water pumps in 2 weeks after I switched even though they assured me the would be fine. I now have a 16v battery with a 12v tap that I run my water pump with. Everythig else runs on 16v and is happy. The cons are if your battery charger takes a crap at the track and no one has a spare for you to use. I did find that if I charge the battery with a 12v charger on the 12 v post it will charge the whole battery. I'm not sure if that's a good idea but it got me through the weekend. The other problem is finding a good 16v battery charger. the only ones I have used are a couple different XS battery chargers. I can get them to last about 2 years before they take a crap with the last one only lasting just over a year. I have 5 dead ones I need to send back to be fixed. They told me it be roughly $100 each to fix plus shipping. I've ordered another brand that's made here in the USA that has a 3 year warranty. Hopefully it last a lot longer than the XS stuff and is more reliable.
