Default Glider Batteries and Chargers

One other thing... DO include a fuse or circuit breaker at the battery
and do make certain that the connections between the CB and the
battery are absolutely as reliable as you can make them (as mentioned
on another thread, problems here aren't covered by your CB). I
recommend a 5 amp push to reset CB, provided that you have some place
to mount it correctly, teflon insulated aircraft wire of 18ga and
Molex or equivalent industrial quality crimp on connectors which are
*far* better than consumer grade stuff at your hardware store. This
is a great area to solicit some help if you aren't completely
confident in your ability.

That's my public service announcement for the day :-).
