I used an EarthX in my KR for several years. It was still in it when I sold it. Kind of pricey, but if you need cold cranking amps, that's the way to go. It should last far longer than a lead acid battery, but the bigger question is, "Why are you eating batteries?" I founnd the wet cell lead acid motocycle batteries usually made 5 - 6 years, Oddessey AGM batteries typically make 7 - 8 years, and I sold the plane before my EarthLink ever showed any sign of weakness. However, my planes never sit for very long. The batteries will.last longer if you fly the plane to keep them charged regularly. -Jeff Scott Arkansas Ozarks -- Sent from my Android phone with GMX Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

I've been having battery issues to the point that I am on my second battery (thank you John Schaffer for your help troubleshooting the last one). My engine does not have a magneto, I depend on two electronic ignition modules which then requires me to have a good electrical source along with my alternator...
My previous batteries were lawn and garden 330 CCA type, both failed with 6 months of service. I finally bit the bullet and bought an Earth X LiFoPo battery (a little pricy but...) I installed it today and will test it out tomorrow.
Does anyone have experience with the Earth X batteries or did I jump from the frying pan into the fire?
