charger
Thanks for the information.
I currently have a dual battery, PC680s and a dual alternator system. The
Odyssey charger is an OBC 12a. I currently have both batteries in the shop
wired in parallel using the OBC charger to maintain until the airplane is
completed in a couple of months.
My charger plug in the plane is wired to maintain a charge on the primary
battery and not the secondary.
Charlie, you advice for splitting the charger + lead at its terminal is great
advice.
Reading the additional information about maintainers, Ive now decided to
use the charger as wired in the plane for the primary only. I intend to fly the
plane a minimum of once per week. Winter could stretch that occasionally.
You guys have been a tremendous resource during my build. Im looking forward to
finally flying this plane. Ill keep you posted.

John,
I'm not sure where you live, but you should be able to go to an electronics
store and find that fuse there. When I was still at the local airport as
manager, we installed an AWOS, and the phone line to it was fused with a
1/10 amp fuse. When we installed it to protect an ISI board ($300) we no
longer blew the board at evey thunderstorm. That 1/10 amp fuse was only $2,
and much easier to replace.

Hi Bob
I've managed to get hold of a Garmin GPS lead, and the plug that goes into
the unit has four pins, two are dormant, the other two are 12v + & -, the
cigar plug once dismantled has indeed a glass fuse link, so all good for 12v
fused to the aircraft bus.
Which does raise one other question, the fuse looks like 1/4amp, how do I
fuse this (and other items like 'steam gauge lighting') which have only
light gauge wires, the smallest fuse available for the bus is 1amp

chargers like this $3.25 module that I have observed to be more
precise and reliable than the air conditioner fueled Schumacher chargers for lead
corrosive VRLA batteries. These are not unregulated stream chargers but rather
Or maybe multi-mode enhanced chargers that hold fast to best functional
charging conventions. The Maximum Power Point Following (MPPT) input lets the
input voltage and power remain ideal for power transfer. Just for a
couple of dollars conveyed.

It would appear that this specific one works with a sun-based contribution of 6
to 18
volts. There are unquestionably some shabby reasonable choices accessible for the
Do-It-Yourselfer. Much more are accessible for Lithium batteries.
