Barry ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 09:13:01 PM PST US From: ByronMFox@aol.com Subject: Yak-List: Battery Question In September 2005, I put two new Gill G25S 12 volt batteries in my CJ to which I attached a 24 volt battery tender. This past Saturday, I discovered that they were shot after a mere 13 months. I have perhaps been mistaken in believing that keeping batteries fully charged was good practice. Without using a battery tender, the last set a batteries lasted about three years. What is it that I fail to understand --- yet again?

He was enthusiastic about formation and did a really good job at it. On the wall of my den here is a picture of the first guys to fly at OSH. Brain Lloyd, Hal Morley, Salibi, and myself are standing by Hal's CJ.. There is also a picture of him with Brain ex wife sitting on his lap giving him a smooch when we were all at a bar in OSH and having great time. I was sorry to see him leave our Redstar group and move up to the T-28. It was always great fun to catch up with him at S&F & OSH where we'd have good natured jab about each others airplanes. He had done such a fine job of getting his 28 on the ground at OSH when the engine started to quit - I was proud of him. He really loved flying. He will be missed by the T-28 guys for sure.
