Wiliam/Roland,
I have suffered a rectifier failure part way across a long N Sea
crossing but had plenty of battery to get me home. I have also
demonstrated that it (ie a 914) works perfectly well if you switch off
alternator and master switch in the standard wiring scheme. So
personally I would go for the KISS and keep it light principles.
Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ

David,
I'd always agree concerning the KISS. But this is a safety feature with a weight
penalty of just 0,2kg. You have a Smart Ass installed, right? You have a complex
914 instead of a much more simple 912....
With the standard wiring I switched off the alternator master on the ground and
the engine started cauthing after some time, maybe due to the low RPM.
To each his own....

| Subject: | Varley Li-16 or Li-5 |
Requesting user-experiences for the Varley Lithium FE batteries.
For fitment in a Europa with 912 ULS which currently uses a Varley Red Top 25 (cranks
at 310A, weighs 7.0kg).
As l understand it the standard Ducati supply voltage of 13.5(+/-) is acceptable
as the battery nominal voltage is 12.8v.
If anybody is using one of these l would appreciate feedback.
The Li-16 has a massive cranking current of 670A and weighs 3.2kg. It fits the
existing battery box.
The Li-5 cranks at 335A and weights only 1.1kg.
Many thanks for any info.

Actually I think we worry too much about this.
When was the last time you had a (modern) car stop once it was running? I
cant remember this ever happening to me and I have some pretty ropy cars.
I once had a BMW R75/6 stop because the capacitor failed but apart from
that I cant think of a single instance of an internal combustion engine
stopping once it was running - including a wide variety of tanks,
motorbikes cars etc in nigh on 40 years of driving.
Come to think of it I cant remember any of my parents cars stopping once
they were running - ah yes once when the fuel filter was almost blocked.
Normally if they start and you feed them they continue to run.
