Subject: | Re: Small battery choice |
This is a three year old response, but... I have so much respect for the help Bob's
resources have provided, but want to respond.
I have a Z-14 install in an Lancair ES. It has been GREAT.
I finished in March 2022. I put in two powersonics. During the testing phase,
after only like 30 hours, they weren't cranking my high compression IO550 like
they should. I decided based on various recommendations to upgrade to two Odyssey
pc680s, which are much more expensive. I got better cranking.
One of the pc680s died after two years, and now the second one has died after 2
1/2 years (meaning I'm not getting the cranking I need). I'm now thinking of
trying the MightyMax, which is < 1/3 the cost of the pc680, and if they crank
OK, I'm certainly happy to replace one each year.
Nothing personal against Odyssey, but the Lancair folks that helped me finish in
2022 said that Odysseys were great in the 2010s but seemed to fall off during
Covid. Are my 2 and 2 1/2 years indicative of that, or are they about normal?
They're a rather expensive little battery, so if they have actually fallen
off, the one year change out of cheaper batteries makes more sense, at least
if they crank adequately during their life.
Cheers,
Happy Z14 Lanciar owner.

I should mention that my Odyssey 680s had 300 and 400 hours on them when they failed,
which was probably like 150 and 200 starts. Is that about how long they
last? Should they last longer? Did I get reasonable life out of them?
