Stephen,

I'd be inclined to not use such a battery for motors, especially if its in an engine. They are quite heavy and have low capacity. They are designed for a continuous trickle charge not for frequent charge/discharge cycles. AA or C-cell rechargeable batteries however are designed for such use but of course you need a battery pack to load them into and for 12V you need eight in series.

Actually, to get 12 volts you need 10 AA or (Sub) C cell rechargeables in series. They are nominally 1.2 volts each.
