--> RV7-List message posted by: "Virgil Young" <vwyoung@comcast.net>
Beginning firewall forward on Rv7 quickbuild slider. Have 60 amp and 20amp B&C
alternators.Want to mount dual batteries. Considering two Odyssey PC680 batteries.
Thinking about mounting mounting both on engine compartment firewall. Would
appreciate advice in this regard as well as alternate location of 2nd battery.

Control cables are gonna be the biggest factor. Depending on which
powerplant and which fuel systems you go with, your T/M/P cables will
penetrate the firewall on the left, right above where a "symmetrically
mounted" 2nd Odyssey battery would go.
You'll also need to watch out for the fuel pressure hose running up to the
transducer manifold. You would probably want to relocate the transducer
manifold to a more centered position on the firewall. That might force you
to go with custom hoses (no big deal, just more money).
Other than that, I believe my left firewall is relatively free of crap. You
can purchase Van's FWF drawing(s) of the firewall individually to get a
better sense of what you're up against.
But...I would think that building a battery box in the cockpit, centerline,
just aft of the firewall would be a good location. Take a peek at any RV-6
out there with a PC680 and you'll probably get some good ideas.
Best of luck,

I agree with Dan. Better to put the second Batt on cockpit side of FW due
to limited space of everything on the engine side. But I am sure it is
possible but it will be harder to work with and maintain for the rest of
your life.
