I would like to know if a sealed battery  like used in a car would be ok for an aircraft. 

 Does anyone know?

 Has anyone tried to use a sealed car  battery in their plane?

 I have drove up over the mountains as high  as 15,000 feet and had no problems with the battery in my car so why not use the  same battery in an aircraft?

Just curious, what is the weight of  this car battery when compared to an A/C Battery?

Robin, a sealed automotive battery should function fine in an aircraft 

but the main advantage of the Odyssey batteries is their big cranking 

capacity combined with relatively light weight and small package.



I first had the Concorde RG 25 in my RV-6, but now have the Odyssey 680 

because it is smaller, lighter, and just as powerful. It can also be 

mounted in any position except upside down.

I have had good success with a recumbent gas wheelchair battery, purchased from a local supplier, about $65.00. I get a 35 amp/hour unit that fits the box of my RV 4, no maintenance, no problems in 10 years, as long as I change it out every third year.
