      Greetings Aeroelectric list.
      
      After 21 years of hand-propping my Continental O-200 I may finally install a
      starter because I will probably be installing a fuel injection system.
      
      The thing I don't like is 10 pounds for the starter and another 25 lb. for
      the battery.  What is the smallest battery I can likely get away with?  It
      usually starts within a pull or two, so I don't think that I'll need a
      starter/battery combination strong enough to taxi the aircraft.
      
      Thanks.

      Sam,
      
      
      The Odyssey PC680 Battery weighs 15 lbs and is used to start O-540's in
      several planes I know of:
      
      
      http://www.odysseybatteries.com/batteries.htm
      
      
      You should be able to get by with something even smaller such as a PC545 at
      12 lbs.

      I forgot to mention - I do have high (9:1) compression pistons.

      I start my Lyc 0-235C winter and summer with an $18 lawn garden tractor 
      battery.
