Hello All,
I know there is a lot of talk on battery technologies out there. I'm still confused about it all.
I am at the point where I need to select the battery arrangement for my 7A. I've got an IO-360 Angle Valve engine but will be swinging the new Catto 3 bladed propellor. Going all Dynon Skyview in the panel. I'm also going with the B&C 60 Amp Alternator and LR3C (?) external regulator.
If you were me, would you continue to move on with the Odyssey PC680 battery or would you go LiFePo? Are there any electrical changes or considerations that I would need to make if I went to the LiFePo?
I'm already expecting to be light on the nose of the airplane so I'm also wondering how the CG would be affected with a light weight battery.
Your opinions are appreciated!!!
