My battery is mounted in a metal box between the rudder pedals in my RV-4. I've never noticed this - never bothered to check - but my battery box is hot to the touch. It's a Odyssey PC-680 @ 2 years old and I've replaced the voltage regulator through Van's @ 6 months ago.......with no visible problems charging, starting, etc...
So, do you think it's normal for a battery "box" to get hot?
FWIW, I'm writing this before I get out to the hangar to tear apart the instrument panel and visibly inspect the battery........I'm charging my electric screwdriver.
Thanks,
Bob
