I take it to O'Reiley's Auto Parts store, aviation section, and exchange the battery for a new $25.00, 24 pound, group U1 (36 amp. hr.), U1L (you may need a U1R), Super Start, _*sealed*_ Lawn & Garden battery. Remove the old battery from the plane, put it in the Lawn Tractor and put the new one in the plane. -- Leo Gates N601Z - CH601HDS TDO Rotax 912UL wade jones wrote: > Hello group ,thanks for all the responses on my panel lettering > .Another request I have is : what is the battery and the source that > most of you are using .I should be able to get by with a 25 to 35 amp > ,as always the smaller physical size the better for me .

I haven't pulled the first electron out of it but the size and weight are great for it's specs. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/odysseydry.php > Odyssey batteries, with an eight year design life saves you time and money because you do not have to replace your battery as often. It is also the only battery that is capable of delivering a large number of deep cycles up to 400 when fully discharged or up to 500 when discharged to 80%. Plus, the battery is specially designed for high vibration applications. Unlike conventional batteries that need to be recharged every six to twelve weeks, the Odyssey battery will maintain up to 50% state of charge after 2 yrs if stored at room temperature (77F). At temperatures lower than 77F, storage times will be even longer. The cranking power of Odyssey batteries is double to triple that of equally sized conventional batteries, even when the temperature is as low as -40F. Odyssey batteries may be shipped worry free by UPS/Federal Express or air. 2 Year Warranty -------- W.R.

It was actually mounted to be just ground or taxiing cooling vent. It worked great and I'll install them too for sure.
