Keith,
For what it is worth, I am a strong believer in the Battery Minder series of chargers/desulfators.
It is not too hard to wire in the included quick disconnect
so that you can simply plug it in and go when the flight is over. These
are "smart" chargers and will let you know if the battery is not charging properly.
For the standard "two 12 volt batteries in series" method I'd go with the
4 amp model as the typical gel cells should not be charged with higher amperage
versions. These units are not designed to charge batteries that are just
totally dead. They're more for long term maintenance and they work exceptionally
well.
Mark

Thanks guys! The reason I did mention the battery is because I do not have a trickle
charger on it and it went dead when the airplane sat for 5 months. The first
start I did out of annual was very similar (slow) on a weakly charged battery.
Subsequent starts seemed OK until the other day. You are most likely correct
Mark about shot batteries since the batteries (2-12 volts in series) are
5-6 years old. I'll try the landing light test as well as the manual start and
report back.
Thanks again!
Keith
