The power density in these new technology batteries is impressive, and they still seem to also have plenty of cranking amps. Does anybody have experience with one of these batteries on a 912 engine? What size is recommended for a 912? Thanks ...

The one I have is a 20 AH, 410 CCA EVO2-LifePO4 battery marketed by Ballistic Performance Components. Part Number 2113-0265. I purchased this one on eBay. It has given me excellent performance for the 5 months I have been using it. The other day I did a carb balance and restarted the engine 7 or 8 times, only running it briefly while I checked the gauges. It never even began to slow down. I can't say it's the best size or type but it works for me. It has slightly more power than the old battery I took off and weights a little less than 2 lbs I believe. Hope that helps.
