    Subject: Hypothetical Battery Contactor Failure
    From: "user9253" <fransew@gmail.com>
    While flying, suppose that there is failure in the battery contactor coil circuit and that the alternator continues to function. Will the pilot notice any symptoms prior to engine shutdown? If so, what are they? Thanks. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=457526#457526

    Hmmm. . . . Interesting scenario. . . . First thought is. . . if one is good at watching steam gauge detail, the amp/current meter should drop 1-2 amps because the support charge going to the battery is cut off. Maybe some audio noise may increase in headsets, etc., since the battery, acting as a huge filter capacitor, is not able to do its secondary job being cut off via the open contactor. . . .

    Hi Jim, You probably have already found this. . . the 155 display is easy to get to and change. Just remember to set the control knobs at some "known" position before you pull them off. Once the front panel is removed, the display slides out of it's large contact holder. Cleaning the contacts may help, but, being a high voltage gas display, the problem of missing segments is usually permanent. That display is expensive and a bugger to find. I would check with large avionics shops and if they have some new old inventory, they might sell you a new display. I like the -155. It is a same to send it to the grave yard.

    in that case... sometimes you can encourage a missing segment to work again by warm-soaking the unit (i.e. leaving radio in the on state) for an extend ed period of time.
