I have to second Dan's comments on battery charging.  I had the misfortune of 
working for a startup battery company for a couple of years while the 
aerospace industry was in the dumps.  I learned more about batteries than I 
thought there ever was to know.  I mean, they're just simple electron 
sources, aren't they?

I quickly discovered that every battery type needs a specific charging 
regimen for adequate performance and life.  We don't normally think about 
this because we usually use plain ol' lead-acid batteries in our car, boats, 
airplanes, etc... and the charging requirements are the same.

Dan's right on with this comment.  Check your battery instructions and make 
sure you've got the right voltage regulator setting.  You'll be glad you did.

(By the way, the two-year hiatus from my aero career was actually 
interesting, but I'm glad it's over)
