I don't have the engine and Firewall forward kit yet but would like to start planning for the general battery location. I have seen batteries mounted on the left side but want mine on the right. Is this easily doable? The following is my configuration.
RV7A
IO-360 (180 hp)
CS prop
Single battery PC680 or possibly the larger Concord 25RG
My goal is to have all wiring/components accessible for additions/maintenance by sitting in the seats. No crawling under the panel. I am 95% there with the bulk of the modules (fuse blocks, breakers, relays, wig/wag, low voltage monitor, EBUS diode, dimmers, safety trim, EIS, AOA,) located on the right side aft of the firewall. I would like the battery and ground block close by too (hence right side).
Comments appreciated from those who have batt on right side and similar engine/airframe combo.
thanks in advance.
