aerovoltz batt in rv-10 or firewall forward batt in the rv-10

[Lan Vinh Do]

Hi
My rv-10 have a empty cg of 110.44. This limit me on the baggage capacity or passenger weight when my tank are lower than 15 gal on landing.

I have a MT prop so light in front and a O2 tank behind the baggage compartment . ( little more weight in the back)

I read on Aerovoltz battery and have a mix feeling but it would solve my CG issue. 20 lbs lighter than the 925. in the back.

The other solution would be to put the battery in front of the firewall.

So anybody have experience / with the aerovoltz battery or same type in a rv-10?. I have io-540 with one plasma 3 ignition and one mag. I live in canada so temp will go below 0 deg C. My engine normaly start with just 1 second of starter.

Or anybody have picture of a firewall foward battery installation in a rv-10

Thank you
