Are you sure about that? I looked at Mercs website for the 15 hp EFI and it has an alternator spec listed. Why is there an alternator if there is no battery?
Just wondering. I think it would be cool if someone were able to make an EFI system that did not need a battery. Between the electronics to run the computer, and then the fuel pump, I just wonder how they could pull it off?

In my late teens a buddy had an inline 6 115 that we pull started a couple of times. Everybody up in the front of the boat except the guy pullin so nobody gets hit by the rope. I was pullin once and my buddy Tommy was not paying attention and that rope left a welt across his back!!!!! Looked, and sounded like it hurt!!!

My grandfather had a similar motor back in the 70's. Not sure the year of the motor, but it was a 65 hp Evinrude. One year he was a little late to winterize the lower unit and it cracked. He was so mad about it he gave it to the neighbor and bought a 60 Chrysler with a dual ignition system. That motor never ran right and was also given away, I forget how long ago. But that Evinrude the neighbor has, it still is being used to this day.

E-tec like cd outboard ignition dont need a battery.
They throw in an alternator so you can have electric start etc.
Lots of the small japs engines are now battery less efi.

Maybe a little off topic but arctic cat snowmobiles had Suzuki engines with "batteryless efi" in the late 90s.....maybe as early as 96 or 97. I was sceptical even as a teenager at the time, but was big into sleds. They advertised one pull to charge the coils and one more pull of the rope to start the engine. I was awestruck to see it work on a 20 below zero day..... and a little disappointed that it worked as I have always been a polaris guy. They ran that system for years, almost every cat sled 600 cc and up was efi from the early 2000s on up. I will say my carbed polaris 500 ate up more than one 500 and 600 cc cat back then, but I took the time to learn clutching and that is a topic for another thread.

100% Those small motors have batteryless EFI. I'm not sure if all of the Mercs have the charging system built in, just not hooked up for battery charging or not, or if there is a charge coil that they remove on those models. Pretty common in the small stuff actually. Merc does a pretty poor job of explaining the differences in their motors IMO. They list specs for 1 or 2 models, when they have multiple variations of each.
EDIT: Ill see if I can get a video of one in action a little later.Last edited by InjectorService; 10-22-2020 at 09:03 AM.
