I tried asking this over on the Support forum for AFS but didnt get a response.

On the price list/options there is a generic Backup Battery option (http://www.advanced-flight-systems.com/Pricing/pricing.html) - AF-BAT. Is this suitable for the 5600 series? I have some paperwork from OSH last year and the battery was listed as for 3400/4500s. So I'm wondering if this battery is still recommended for the 5600 or if we should be using a TWC one direct? It looks like a 4Amp Hour one would give about 1.5 hours on a 5600 based on the power requirements in the manual - is that accurate?

Just did an install. You need to install a additional battery. Either a TCW, which we did or one of your choosing. the 5500 or 5600 do not have an internal back up battery. The TCW seems to do an excellent job, no switch is installed when using it with the 5600. Larry

I was wondering about the battery AFS sells. Is it not appropriate for the 5600?

Interesting! I reviewed the link again and now there is a list for a 5000 series battery. Looks like that is the right info now!
