Hi List –
Anyone out there who might be building a 601XL or 650 using a Lycoming 0235 engine…Where are you putting your battery and what kind are you using? I know this engine is heavier than a lot of other solutions so I am concerned about the forward C/G and have no idea how to figure that BEFORE the airplane is complete.
Any help or advice is certainly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve Freeman

Steve,
My 601XL has a Corvair engine. I mounted the battery, along with the battery contactor and battery bus (fuse block) behind the passenger side seat. (see photo). I later moved the fuse block to the floor to make it more accessible.

Hi Steve,
Have you tried calling the Zenith factory? I am told that Caleb has a spreadsheet that positions battery versus engine type and weight.

Hi Joe,
If I am not mistaken this puts your battery 4” in front of the Front HT Frame. I have never seen a battery this far back. Did you also install an access door so you can get to the batter for service? Can you describe how you get your cables to the front and where are you grounding the negative terminal?
Also – what kind of battery do you have and how much does it weigh?
Thanks for responding,
Steve
