(Marvin Dorris Jr) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 03:38:33 PM PST US From: "Sam Hoskins" Subject: AeroElectric-List: How small battery for the B&C BC320 starter? 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. _____ From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Sam Hoskins Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2007 3:35 PM Subject: AeroElectric-List: How small battery for the B&C BC320 starter?
