Hi Dave


I did thought of that but 

   1 - my Aux Batt is also an Odissey PC625 which doesn=92t fit under 
the tail
fairing, and if I decided to put it somewhere between the baggage area 
and
the tail tip, I would not be able to service/replace it

   2 ' I need the Aux battery to be an exclusive back-up to my
electron-dependant engine, in case of alternator death and Main Battery 
is
out of electrons


I know that 3 batteries look really overkill, mainly to Total Weight 
=85.


Thanks anyway

Carlos

Carlos,


 You've probably thought of this but ... could you not move the 2nd 
battery
backwards into the tail? Too much W&B shift?


regards,


Dave

I don't know exactly, because I still don't know the exact weight I need 
for
W & B, but I am planning for a battery around 10Ah


I do have 2 other batteries, Main and AUX, since my engine is an
electron-dependant Subaru.
