Tim O has raised some good questions with my  battery choices, and I would like to hear from those of you who are flying with  the Odyssey PC680.  What has been your experience in cranking ability with  1 PC680? Do you think it is enough to start under most conditions? Would you  strongly recommend starting with the PC925?

  

 My plan is to use 2 PC680s - one for  cranking and the other for the avionics during start up and as a backup for the  ebus.

  

 Thanks for your comments and  suggestions.

The pc 680 has whipped up my rv6a after two weeks of sitting at freezing temps, and being almost 5 years old……I’ve left the master on a few times and the recharge (jump start) takes a bit longer than a wet cell, but nothing comes without a tradeoff.. Fwiw, I had an alternator field fuse open in flight and continued for 1.5 hrs without an ebus. It was vfr so no worries but I left transponder,gns430 and backup radios on..   

 My rv10 will have a pc 1200 in rear and a pc680 up front. I figure with some video products installed for the kids and some preflight planning with the gadgets on the ground I could use a little extra capacity.

John

You might want to check the Rocket crowd.  They run IO-540s and there's 

not much room for a battery much larger than a PC680.
