Full disclosure…. Flew to OSH last Thursday, overnighted in IN, I left MASTER ON only, my GRT EIS 4000 running all night =12 hours z(no switch, on with Master)
Crossed fingers, primed well, three good revolutions, engine fired up. Ran, 3 minutes, shutdown, finished preflight. Climbed in, pushed starter, fired up, 2 hour flight, fuel, no issues on startup , happy and elated, landing at OSH for 6 days.
Left OSH Thursday 28th, 8am, no issues starting, taxi to 36L, flew two hours, landed ,fueled up….CLICK….pushed starter second time ….started WHEW !
Flew 4 hours, high around weather, landed for fuel, CLICK …. pushed again started right up. WHEW #2
Hard to think battery is my issue, but don’t know for sure. B&C ALTERNATOR 13.9 output is what EIS has always reported. PC680 4yrs 6 months old, Skytec 149nl, 3yrs 7 months old since new, starter solenoid 4yr 4 months old. I fly weekly , 140+/- a year for past 4 years.
Thoughts? Thanks
