I have a completely redundant electrical system with two alternators. I personally would never use the Earthx or any other LI battery in my aircraft, even if it was mounted in a stainless steel vented box. It's just not worth it, the only thing it buys you at the moment is the weight savings, and that has never been an issue for me in 10 years and 1200 hours of flying. IRT an ignition system. I have the Electroair system and the original retard breaker mag on the left. It's been working fine since installed 5 years ago. I would not run an electronic ignition without some form of electrical backup for it. The P-mag provides its own power and is the most straight forward installation of all of the systems. It does not offer the energy and spark duration of the electroair, or the LSE, but it is significantly better than a magneto. The plus side is that it has it's own backup source. -------- Bill WA0SYV Aviation Partners, LLC Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=500106#500106 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
