Hello everybody
I am helping a buddy who is beginning the construction of a -10.
Reading the Manual, I became aware that the plans determine the battery to
be placed in the tail.
Has everybody gone this way, or did any of you placed the battery elsewhere?
Regards
Carlos Trigo

Most folks are putting it in the tail per the plans.=C2- It seems to be t
he best place to make the CG come out where it needs to be.

If you are building a standard Van's plane (IO-540 engine) you will probably find
that the c.g. comes out on the forward side of the limits. Many find they need
to carry some ballast in the back when flying solo. So leaving the battery
in the back seems like a good idea.
The only ones I have heard of who moved the battery forward were using alternative
engines.

The plans location have been followed by everyone. Changes include:
(1) Installing a second backup battery Still in the tailcone.
(2) Modifying the holder to install a larger (680) battery.
There are no weight issues with installing a larger battery or a second
battery in the same location.

In my case I am quite happy I DID leave it in that position. My W&B has
me Fore of center and I need a good 50lbs in the tail while flying
alone. Unless there is a good reason to move it elsewhere (not firewall
forward is my suggestion) make sure you consider that Vans designed the
plane around everything being where the plans state they should go so if
you move the battery consider the W&B issue it can cause.

Go with the Van's position - assuming you are using a standard IO-540
engine.
I put two Odyssey PC-625 batteries there by doing a simple mod to the
supplied Van's battery holder.

I have 2 680s in the normal position and dual master switches on the panel;
the intent was a backup battery in the rear. After loading my normal 40#
tool box and another box of spare part and extra survival gear in the
baggage compartment I decided on another 680 on the right side forward
firewall which only powers the essential bus and is charged by the
alternator. I can start from either main battery and provide about another
40A from the essential battery by pulling (manually) the breakers for the
avionics/EFIS.

925/680 in back. Ewcg 1/2" aft of fwd limit. Extra 100 lbs in baggage makes for
easier landings, lighter in pitch, and 4 kts higher cruise when solo.
