For you guys with batteries in your Piets which one are you using and what does it weigh? William Wynne recommends the Odyssey PC680 which weights 15 lbs for Corvairs. I was looking at some Miata racing stuff and came across this Braille racing battery with similiar output and cost which only weights 6 lbs. If it will start a 10 to 1 compression ratio Miata engine it should turn over a Corvair or O-200.

Rick I use the Odessy 680 with my Rotec. It turns over fine and can be mounted in any position. Do you really care about weight that much when it forward of CG? 4 lb of weight roughly at the firewall equalls 1 lb at the tailwheel. Abit of weight at the FW can keep from having to move the wing back excessively.
