Re: KRnet> batteries

AGM batteries seem to be about the same cold cranking amps as comparable lead/acid batteries. It's the Lithium Iron batteries that can really deliver the amperage. -Jeff > Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2022 at 10:10 PM > From: "Daniel Branstrom via KRnet" > To: "Jeff Scott via KRnet" > Cc: "Dani

Re: KRnet> batteries

Thanks, Jeff. You put things in perspective and in order. Is it true that, because of their internal construction, AGM batteries have lower internal resistance, and that enables them to deliver the higher amperage for cranking power than other types of lead-acid batteries? It's been a long whi

I'm seeing a lot of misinformation about batteries being bandied about. There are three types of batteries. All have their good and bad points and any of the three types can be used with any type of engine. The most common is the old lead acid batteries. Of course they require a vented batte

Re: KRnet> Battery for VW KR

Thanks for all the responses. Heat is a concern also being in the engine compartment on the firewall, it would be nice if it didn't explode. The old one was a lead acid type...I guess it was ok. It won't take a charge. I forgot, I'm also in the market for a new spinner. Thanks again. On Sat,

Re: KRnet> Battery for VW KR

I couldn't find William's post on the battery, but, IIRC, he warned that lithium batteries have internal wiring to protect them, and a plane that was using one had that circuitry shut the battery down, which killed the ignition. There is no such circuitry in a lead-acid battery. AGM [Absorbent

Re: KRnet> Battery for VW KR

For my 2180 VW, I used Power-Sonic 18 amp-hour sealed lead-acid battery. Can be mounted any position. Power Sonic PS-12180 NB 12V 18AH SLA is $57.99 from Amazon. I also used a Power Sonic PS-1270 F2 12V 7AH SLA Battery for ignition and avionics backup. PS-1270 is $25.99 from Amazon. The powe

Re: KRnet> (no subject)

I think the premise is a leak proof battery - and of course weight is ALWAYS an issue. WW recommendation "works" for both of these under this premise. I am a fan of LiPo - but the challenge of charging and discharging safely is parmount. I think EarthX focuses on this - as well as the Tesla

Re: KRnet> (no subject)

I'm sure William Wynne is recommending a battery for use with a Corvair Engine. For the VW, the Lawn and Tractor type battery works fine for me. There are lots of options out there. The basic lawn and tractor battery is probably the least expensive, and easy to find a replacement for when trave

Re: KRnet> (no subject)

IIRC, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that William Wynne recommends an Odyssey AGM battery, I believe a 680 or larger. It's a battery that can be mounted in any position. It is smaller than a regular lead acid batteries, and safer, more reliable and powerful. It has none
