Thanks again Jeff, I am going to look into this battery. I went to fly last week and couldn't get a light and it went dead too quickly. I have a local Battery Warehouse motercycle battery that has enough crank for the corvair but the life is roughly 2 years. when they were $45 it didn't seem like a big deal to replace every 2 years but the last couple have been $85 or so. That starts to make it seem a little more economy friendly. Mine weighs about 6# but is a little larger 2 directions. The width which is my constraint is bigger by 1/2" than mine is now. That will push it into the intake runner. But with the other dimensions smaller it may leave room to move the battery box a bit. I have to mock it up tomorrow and either get another of the same or order a Earthx and do the mod's. Thanks, Joe Horton ----- Original Message -----

It's hard to argue that trimming 10# off a KR is a bad thing. And in my mind, there is little question that it is superior to the AGM batteries. But the down side to this is that the battery lists at $379. The one in my KR is coming up on 4 years age and, so far, is still performing like new. EarthX has done a good job of configuring this battery specifically for aviation use. -Jeff Scott Arkansas Ozarks _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
