When I planned my skyview panel, I did not want a back up battery because I am VFR and did not think I needed the redundancey. I Started flying my 8A a month ago and don't like how I lose the screens during engine cranking and then have to wait for what seems like a long time for the screens to come back up to see my oil pressure. So I looked at the sky view back up battery, $180 each.
Has any one tried to roll your own on this? I have two screens so I need two batteries and just think 180 a piece for a 12 volt battery is a little steep. If you have, what battery did you end up with?
