Sigh.

Go to page 9-5 and READ IT. The "Test Bat" button is there if you follow instructions.

I can't the run the battery test because the backup battery 320 is not sufficiently charged at only 10.5 v. I tried a bigger automatic charger. No luck.
So.... I checked out Odyssey chargers as suggested above. Odyssey warns With a list of acceptable and unapproved/excluded chargers. I have been ising one of the bad ones.
I ordered a 12A Odyssey today and I plan to charge the Plane battery with the Master on, so that the 320 will charge. Does this plan Make sense to Dynon/Skyview.

I'll use the Odyssey charger with the Master switch on overnight to charge the backup 320 battery.
Reason I can't charge battery with the engine running is that gas leaks out of carbs since last summer. Our A&P ordered new floats last Fall. He.....finally just got replacement floats this week and he will install tomorrow. Whew!!!! So I have been practicing Skyview in the hanger with only charger, no flying or safe motor running since last summer!!

So thankyou again ....looks more optimistic now than past 6 months.

Default Battery chargers NOT recommended for Odyssey battery

Warning:
Of 9 brand name battery chargers reviewed Odyssey, all 9 had some restricted use with Odyssey batteries. Four brand name chargers were to be used for trickle charge only.
No current Schumacher chargers are approved. Guess which one I had!

I bought an Odyssey 12A today!

Odyssey's approval list:

Thank you all for the encouragement over the past few weeks. We might get the SLSA running with new floats tomorrow!! I am so excited....

Newbie here....

Default Dynon skyview backup battery test

This may help someone out there do their annual test on the backup battery SV-BAT-32 to clear the caution message from their skyview.

http://dynonavionics.com/public_html...ev_Y_v14_2.pdf

Page 21-10

Also to charge the main aircraft battery while charging the skyview you need over 12.25 volts and expect about 5 amps for each skyview. My charger output is 13.2 volts and 8 amps so I pushed button 1 and shut down one of my skyviews to charge the battery on the other skyview before the test. You need a fully charged backup battery for the test.
