Tony,



Unless you expect to have a centre of gravity-problem, I would not place the

battery further back than in the baggage bay.  Easier access, and less cable

weight.  It is nice to be able to put some baggage back there without

worrying about CoG.



I have a manual master switch behind the passenger seat head rest (purchased

in a marine boat store), which kills all but trim and stall warner.



For charging and jumper cables( to start by an external battery), I have a

plug receptacle inside a small hatch just aft of the right side wing (just

aft of the flap trailing edge).  This has some advantages vs. taking the

cables in through an open door:



- You can charge with the airplane locked.

- If you need jumper cables to start the engine, you can do so with the

doors closed (no risk of a door flying open by the propeller wash).  A

helper on the outside can pull out the jumper contact and close the small

hatch.



Regards

Svein
