Folks,

I need to replace the battery for "Miss B."  She has the 582 Rotax starter 

to spin, and the EIS to power up.  There are no other power requirements, no 

lights (though I do have a hotbox to drive strobes, they're just not 

installed).  The box is 4"x8"x7".  I see on the California Power Systems web 

site that their batteries come in various amperages.  They also have the 

"no-maintenance" batteries.  Any suggestions or experience you care to pass 

along?

Bob:



I start my 912ULS on a small 12 AH sealed lead acid battery.  The one 

I am using is 6+ years old.



I gave a friend of mine a 6AH sealed lead acid battery which he uses 

on a Little Red Rocket (Maxair) and a 582.  This battery is also 6+ 

years old.

Seems to me that you had that bird up for sale? If you are keeping it, 

go with John H's idea in his post. If you are selling it, go to a 

motorcycle shop, get a battery to fit the space, spend $35, and pocket 

the difference. I am using a Yuasa motorcycle battery, it spins the 582 

quite well, and lasts about three years before needing replacement.

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.
