I wouldn't bring this kind of
high current feeder up to the panel.
I'd use a current limiter at the battery
contactor thus keeping all the fat-wires
of the panel. If there's already a
spot for a breaker marked 'landing gear',
put a 5a breaker there to power the control
system.

Bob,
As far as I can see , the instrument itself has no facility for battery backup
input, just the normal power feed
http://www.mglavionics.co.za/Infinitec/Manuals/ASX1.pdf
I therefore think the options are
1) go with a commercial device that has been suggested on the Europa Forum
http://www.mini-box.com/picoUPS-120-12V-DC-micro-UPS-battery-backup
with a small backup battery such as this
http://www.zbattery.com/Batteries/List-of-All-12Vs
2) build my own unit, as suggested in the post by user9253 (Joe Gores) in the original
thread
3) Buy one of the more expensive units from either Funkework or LX Navigation
with the battery backups built in
4) stick with the steam driven ASI and Altimeter.
I guess my priorities are accuracy, minimum weight, and cost in that order
I would value your opinion.

That PicoUPS looks like it requires a backup battery. So I do not know what advantage
it has over using a diode along with a backup battery.
