Interesting idea!
Actually the real problem is that it's somewhat hard to get to: it's
under the transponder which is under the fuel tank. I do have plans to
move it back in the tail to improve CG - maybe next year :)

Gary is a mobile x-ray repairman. he gets us free batteries that he
removes from the trucks. even after the battery's performance drops
for x-ray levels they have plenty of life left in them. I have been
running one for 2 years now. they are the same size as concordes.
Gary points out that they have more plates than the concordes,
absolutely the best made. perhaps you could locate a similar guy in
FL. with all the retirees down there it is probably the x-ray capital
:-)

Actually, it's only been a couple of months since I replaced the
battery. I guess those lawnmower batteries aren't what they used to be
:)
Actually, seems that the "Everstart"s lasted longer than the
"Champion"s I've been using the last couple of times.
Or the new starter with the RWS PSRU is more demanding than the one I
had on the Ross?
Anyway, plunking down $17 for a new battery seems way extravagant - I
think I'll try charging it first :)

Finn, IMHO the best way to fix low voltage is to buy a new
battery and I know that is hard for you to accept

Finn, FWIW...It has helped my starting, with
low voltage, to pull the prop through a couple of turns before hitting
the start button.
