PA28 Battery replacement
Corey:
I've had a Concorde AGM XC25 in my Syhawk since 2001, still tests good.
And I don't fly that much. If you do get another battery, get an AGM
unit.

Hey all. I'm pretty certain I've convinced myself that my "bad starter"
and/or bad ring gear are actually my battery going bad. With the skytec
starter, it
makes sense that at high-load, the voltage could drop enough so the starter
solenoid
cannot hold the gear engaged to the flywheel. It pops back out while
cranking on a
compression stroke.
So, what are the thoughts on the different batteries? I'm pretty sure mine
is
the old Gill G35. It's been in there for at least 3.5 years. Any good
replacement
ones that might save weight, etc? FWIW it's a 180hp O-360 so it is high
compression.
Thanks
