    . . . "Piper type"plug mated with my installed "Piper type"=C2 jack with connections to my old automotive commonplace battery charger. I also made the assumption that my battery would act to absorb any fluctuations in the supply voltage. I=C2 had the radios on while working on other parts of the project to hear local tower activity for many hours without any ill effects . . . Nicely done sir . . . and thanks for the photos. I'll add them to the website archives. Bob . . .

    They now have the 4 port ~$190 US Dollars (delivered), and I ordered one of these. Why you ask would I spend $200 on something I can get for $10 at Walmart? Noise, noise, and noise. I've spent thousands of dollars to have quality Comm, and the damn cig lighter chargers wipe all that out with ease. Even kills the FM radio reception. We'll see if the unit is RF quiet like the guy claims on the website - if it is then it's money well spent. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=441378#441378

    Subject: Starter Solenoid behavior with low Battery
    From: "Radioflyer" <skyeyecorp@airpost.net>
    Recently my battery fell below 11 volts and so it could not provide enough power to completely turn over my engine. What surprised me more than the low battery was that after switching off my master and then switching it back on again, the starter attempted to turn the engine. Wow, the master isn't supposed to control the starter solenoid! After charging the battery, the master and starter switches returned to normal operation and the engine started perfectly many times. All was good and I eventually figured out why my battery discharged. However, that still left me wondering how the master switch could possibly activate the starter solenoid without my pushing the start switch. My theory is that the low voltage only partially (weekly) engaged the starter solenoid spring and therefore the spring didn't exert full force to open the solenoid after it was de-energized. I'm not yet ready to conclude that the starter solenoid is actually defective. Anybody also experienced this? --Jose Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=441406#441406

    I'm looking for the 18 pins connector And Molex terminals and I don't find any place to buy it. A suggestion maybe. Daniel Pelletier

    Subject: Starter Solenoid behavior with low Battery
    At that low voltage the starter became a short because the armature was not turning. No back EMF. The starter solenoid may have welded the contacts and the internal spring was unable to push the contacts apart. I suggest you change the starter solenoid. I had this happen on my orchard wind machine, Dale -----Original Message----- From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Radioflyer Sent: Monday, April 27, 2015 5:26 PM Subject: AeroElectric-List: Starter Solenoid behavior with low Battery --> <skyeyecorp@airpost.net> Recently my battery fell below 11 volts and so it could not provide enough power to completely turn over my engine.

    You might give lane-pilot.com a try. He doesn't list the connecter online but if you send him a note he may have a serviceable used one. He does carry the pins.

    Cranking the engine with a low battery is very hard on the starter contactor because the contacts are not held tightly closed. The contacts arc and weld closed. Replace the starter contactor.
