I have two Earth X (ETX900) installed in my RV10. Both batteries under normal operation are connected to the charging system in parallel. The charging system consists of a single 60 amp alternator. After engine start and the alternator turned on, the amp immediately goes to 55 amps for about a min. I realize this is normal for this type of battery.
What concerns me is the amps decrease to 30 and tend to stay there. I recently completed a 1.3 hr might flight and the amps stayed at 30 the entire flight. Is this normal? My load calculation for night flying comes in around 10-15 amps. Alternator is producing 14.3V.
What is everyone else seeing for amps after batteries have recovered from engine start?
