| Subject: | 24V replacement batteries? |
I have a Concorde RG-24-15 battery in my IFR EAB aircraft. It is an
SLA-AGM type battery. It was installed in 2012, and has been living in
Arizona for the past 16 months. It is installed in the cabin, but
experience has shown that batteries don=92t last too long out here,
where
hangar temps go over 120=B0F on a regular basis. 3-year replacement
cycles are reasonable, and new from AS&S it is $549.
Does anyone know of any appropriate service, perhaps
non-aviation-specific, lower cost 24V batteries out there that could
reasonably replace it? I have a little additional space to work with,
so equal-size or smaller would be good! (It is approx.
5.95x7.11x7.15=94.)

Andy,
Why not connect 2 Oddesey AGM batteries in series to obtain the 24v you are l
ooking for? They are around $120-$130 each. The dimensions can be found onl
ine but they are small batteries. You could also bend up a new battery box o
r boxes.

Un insulated terminals will certainly reduce
the cross-section of hardware . . . you can
still insulated with double-wall heat-shrink
per http://tinyurl.com/j6cueg2
Emacs!
Also consider fabricating your own 'flag' terminals
to be soldered on as described in Ch9 of the
'Connection. If you're really handy with the metal
forming, you can make right and left hand flags
that would stack back-to-back so that two
offset fat wires in addition to a third, straight-on
conductor could go onto the same terminal with
the both offset wires on the same side.
Consider 3/4" hard-copper couplers as raw material
for the terminals . . . pick a drill bit for a mandrel
that fits the proposed fat wires.
