Where'd you find a bulkhead-style plug? I"m having trouble locating one.

See http://www.reliability.com/articles/guest_article03.htm
In the table about half way down is a list of various materials.
The further apart on the list, the stronger the galvanic
potential between the materials that encourages corrosion.

The most popular and generally available is the cigarette lighter
plug but it is big and bulky, a real waste of real estate. But if you
go away from that you are no longer standard.
But if that doesn't concern you then you can pick and choose. In the
ham radio world there are some ideas. Take a look at the power
distribution stuff from West Mountain Radio. Very nicely done for
being able to plug and unplug 12VDC devices. They fit well with Bob's
view of power distribution. They even have a neat little module for
cycle testing batteries for capacity.

Thanks, for the link, Mickey...
Now that's what I'm talking about! Not quite like the RX-8s, but I like
'em! I knew there had to be something out there I liked.
They are smaller than the traditional cigarette socket/plug (which is a
good thing for our aircraft, no?), but they also have adapters so you
can plug your cigarette lighter plug accessories into their power plugs
and not have to wire one of their plugs onto the accessory and then not
be able to use it elsewhere!
They also have these that are all aluminum for $30:
Looks like they are my choice.
And you can buy just replacement caps of the one you showed below for $3
if needed|!
Go to this page and click on the items in the picture to see all the
possible hookups and combinations.

Again, nice find, Mickey...These guys think the way I do!

I've posted your pictures at:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Battery/RV_Battery_Box
It's unfortunate that the original sizing of this box
was so tight as to be brand specific as to what would
fit inside. There's nothing wrong with allowing generous
clearance around the sides and then slipping a corrugated
cardboard "shims" in to take out the rattle.
Trimming the battery case as you've described is
probably going to be okay too.
For others who have yet to fabricate battery installation
provisions, keep in mind that RG batteries don't need
a box. You can capture the battery's footprint in a
shallow tray . . . sides perhaps 1/2" deep and strap
the battery into the tray with some simple retention
of sheet metal or even nylon webbing.
I note further that your battery of choice is not
Panasonic. The treaded posts for attaching fat wires
offers some challenges. Certainly go to these posts
with 4AWG welding cable fitted with terminals that
are close fit to the screw threads. Torque pretty snug
and safety wire screw head if possible.
These are pretty dinky posts and fastener sizes for
this application. They can be made to work but I'd
suggest some extra attention to make-up for joint
integrity.

Subject: | Re: Power and audio input jacks |
A little further research on their site shows they also have right angle
plugs...another good idea!
And if you ABSOLUTELY want to have a device usable in both types of
sockets, there is a plug that fits both the cigarette lighter and theirs
for $15:
Looks like they can supply a means to hook up or adapt anything you
want. Good site!
(And, no.,..I don't have an association with them...just like the ideas!)

Dean -
Based on a whole bunch of wall-warts, cables, and power supplies I have
around here - and after wiring our airplane, I would recommend using the
"cigar lighter" type for your power jacks. All cars have them and most
electronics that have DC sources and made for cars use this type. You can
always get them. I know, they look like hell and are too big, but until
the auto/electronics industry start producing another kind, I'd stick with
those. There is a standard being used on most new airliners these days but
the jacks and plugs are harder to find. Again, when the electronics
industry starts producing the plugs and/or adaptors in quantity ... .
Cheers,
John

Mark, re dial-up, I live in the stix and dealt with dial up until I
couldn't stand it anymore. Researched satellite and found it too
expensive. Discovered a local ISP who had a repeater antenna atop a
local mountain that could beam wireless service to me at around 400 kbps
for $40/month. Had to put up my own antenna (hole in the ground for
"donated" old PG&E pole). When I turned it on, I felt like a cave man
butchering the velociraptor and getting into a Corvette. After 18
months, still giggling everytime I go online.

See http://www.reliability.com/articles/guest_article03.htm
In the table about half way down is a list of various materials.
The further apart on the list, the stronger the galvanic
potential between the materials that encourages corrosion.

Be aware that the auto store cig lighter receptacles come in various
non standard sizes. Expect to buy several brands to fit your gadget
securely. The bad ones are oversized so small vibrations cause the
thing to become disconnected. Some gadgets came with a plastic sleeve
to allow fit for an oversized receptacle you might buy. The sometimes
work, but not always. Sometimes just buying a new end for your gadget
will allow a better fit. Lots of pitfalls using these things.

We implemented a ticketing system at work for our computer support,
and quite frankly it has been a godsend. Much easier to keep track of
things and ensure a consistent communication chain with history for
everyone here. If you forget, all you have to do is go look at the
ticket instead of trying to track through hundreds of e-mails or little
post-it notes from phone conversations. Things have drastically improved.

Subject: | Antenna for hand-held transceiver on panel |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Craig Payne" <craig@craigandjean.com>
Like a lot of people I'm saving space on my panel to hang a hand-held
transceiver as a back-up radio. The question is what to do about the
antenna. The simple approach would be to just mount it such that the rubber
ducky antenna sits almost entirely above the glare shield. How well does
that work in terms of transmission and receiving performance?
Alternatively I'd wire the antenna to the main radio such that the lead
could be switched to the BNC on the top of the hand-held. So far the
simplest design (and the one with the least RF loss) that I can think of
would be a female BNC bulkhead connector which leads to the panel radio. The
lead from the antenna would end in a short pigtail of coax with a male BNC
connector. To switch radios you would move the pigtail from the BNC bulkhead
to the BNC on the top of the hand-held. Note that to minimize losses the
bulkhead connector would not be the type with a BNC female on both sides of
the panel. Instead the side inside of the panel crimps directly on to the
coax (Digikey ACX1032-ND, Amphenol 112505).
Most of these ideas come from
http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/commtap/commtap.html
Comments? What other approaches have others taken?

Subject: | Second battery in a TC aircraft |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Mark Carey" <markacarey@msn.com>
Bob:
I installed a single No. 2 positive wire from the firewall to the tail in my
RV10. I have dual alternators (40 and 20 A B&C) and dual batteries. The
alternators both feed to the firewall connection with 40 amp in-line fuses.
I am using the No. 2 to charge both batteries and have installed a diode to
allow the standby battery to charge while not allowing it to discharge
unless the standby contactor is closed. You said you don't recommend diodes
but it appears you have one shown in Z-14. Your diode appears to allow the
standby alt. to charge the main battery whereas the diode I have in mind
charges the standby battery. Any thoughts??

I have purchased three 12V Socketd from ACS Part# 30-12658. I am very
pleased. They seem to make a tight fit, won't corrrode (stainless steel) -
and they won't allow the insertion of a real cigarette lighter. They also
have a rubber plug to flip closed when not in use, for a flush mounting on
the pretty side of the panel. Looks good.
