I have a Gill G25 battery in my Piper Arrow III (PA28R-201T). I
recently had a situation where I ran out of juice after 4 attempted starts. While I am sure that I can improve my starting technique (I am a newbie for this particular plane), I would like to have a bit more power in my battery, especially in very cold conditions such as we have up here in central Wisconsin. An A&P told me recently that I am "stuck" with my G25 battery. He said that he tested it and that it was "fine." Based on a recent article in "Aviation Consumer", I learned that the G25 has only about 225 cold cranking amps. I noted that the G35S has 250 cold cranking amps. (1) Is it true that I am stuck with a G25 battery and that NO OTHER battery in the world can go in my plane? I find that a little hard to believe. (2) If there are other possibilities, can someone recommend one that has better cold cranking amps that the G25? Thanks in advance. -Sami (N2057M, Piper Turbo Arrow III owner) |
