| Subject: | Re: Which battery are you using? |
Listers,
-- I have been using an SVR Sealed battery for the past 5 or 6 years ba
sed an a lister recomendation way back then. First the SVR 14,- then the
SVR 20, and for the past year or so the SVR 30 (30 amp hr, 350CCA).- Even
this latest one just barely turns the engine over (O320 with a SkyTec star
ter), and when it's hot, it is even worse.- Fortunately, my engine starts
easily and I've only had problems once or twice over these past 550+ hours
. However, I've decided to make a change - so my question is. . . What are
you using, and, are you happy with it's performance??
-- Thank you in advance.

Dave-
Many of us are using the PC680 Odyssey VRLA type batteries with good results.
It has quite good CCA but is only a 14Ah battery weighing about 12 lbs IIRC.

I think there was a group buy for Odyssey Batteries posted on the RV list
recently referencing a VAF posting.
Here is something from a VAF posting. I have no knowledge of the company or
who posted the pricing. Just passing it along.
Bohannon *Battery* in Florida:

Odyssey PC680 $115.41 and free shipping. My experience was positive overall
with a quick replies to e-mails.

Your bigger issue is the Skytec starter. If it is one of the original PM
series, it has a very high current draw to over come the compression
stroke. The later NL series (inline) have much less draw, as do other
brands like B&C or Kelly E series.
The PM series need a good battery, excellent battery cables, excellent
connections and grounds to work well. Be sure all your ground cables
from engine to airframe and airframe to battery are top notch.
