Hello All
I have been using an Earth-X 680C in the NV Sierras and with an engine heater and pulling the prop through prior to cranking this has worked fine.
The batt was 3.5 years old and gave me a wonky start. The cranking system worked but just barely. I am aware of the battery warm up needs.
Installed a new 680C and saw the same slow performance and large IR drop, engine wouldn't start on first crank and the battery BMS took the battery offline on the second attempt. Hard internal fail, battery light still on three days later.
So: Battery problem or excessive current on starter? Right now it's two to one against the starter, but those things are pretty basic and very reliable.
Does anyone know of an in-situ field test for proper resistance on a SkyTec NL?
