Experience and insights welcomed, Fred ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 06:40:06 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Battery questions From: "pestar" Fred Do not have a Europa, but have a DynAero MCR-4S Rotax 914 powered. I have just swapped my dual Odyssey batteries out for dual AeroVoltz (12 cell) Lithium Plumbate (they do not burn or ignite) batteries. Reason 400 Cold cranking amps verse 170 20AH verse 7AH 2/3rds the weight and slightly smaller. Same height and width (just the length is shorter). Did not need to swap my Odysseys but liked the look due to the all electric design of the 914. Price approximately the same. So far so good, use a Schicke GR6 regulator verse the Ducatti (approved by your LAA). Cheers Peter -------- Peter Armstrong Auckland, New Zealand DynAero MCR-4S (Do not shoot me :) ).

Fred, Answer .......two Odyssey 680's on the passenger footwell in parallel. (initially prompted to get the Jabiru 3300 six cylinder to crank) now in use with the 914 and a heavy duty starter is totally an instant start. Stop fiddling on the edge and just go for it .
