Hello:



I am thinking of getting rid, of the concord battery,  on my rv6a,

and install  an  Odyssey  one; on the fire wall, like the new Rv's.



Is just to hard to get underneath, the panel, when one needs to serve

the battery.



Has any one done this,, pro's and conn's ?  I do not think the C.G would

change that much?



 I think I have the room for it..

Thanks,



Bert

I bought Vans Odyssey battery box and a couple of chunks of angle and attached it to the vertical angles below the cutout pan for the oil filter on the aft side of the firewall.  The lower two attach bolts allow the unit to hinge down and aft after disconnecting the cables for service.

I have been very happy with the firewall-mounted battery on my RV-6. I 

didn't reweigh the plane but considering the new battery is lighter than 

the Concord I suspect the mod had very little impact on CG. I couldn't 

detect any difference in flight characteristics after the move.

Bert,  We did that and have noticed no adverse effects at all.  One advantage is the fact that you can get to the new location with a battery charger and even with a jumper cable if you locate the battery near the oil inspection door as we did.

 We replaced the Odesy battery after 4 years but only because we wanted too.

 It worked well for us.
