Default EarthX battery and CG change

For those of you that installed an EarthX battery in your flying RV-7 I have a question.

How much did your CG shift aft when you replaced the original battery?

Do you have an aft CG issue at minimum fuel with your baggage compartment at max allowable weight? If so, what is you max baggage compartment weight at minimum fuel?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

My CG moved aft less than an inch. Not a factor for KELLI GIRL, or for you, unless your aft-most CG scenario (max baggage, heavy pax, low fuel) is less than an inch from the aft limit.

BTW, the EarthX battery ROCKS!
