Battery 6ah vs. more

Buy the biggest you can fit!

Powersonic has a 9 AH in same format as 7.2

Then add more batteries, they are cheap, lost instruments are
dangerous, lost OLC logs are maddening!

From experience.... now running 3 batteries..... saves me adding water
ballast! *;-)

AMEN!

My solution was to split the cockpit into two electrical busses, each
with it's own 9AH battery. Either side can fail and I have enough
"stuff" to get home (or finish a race...). Can also gang the busses
so either battery can power all the cockpit.

I have 3 batteries, one is always on the charger, and rotate the ones
from the flight every evening - so I always have 2 fully charged
batteries every flight. No special connectors on the batteries, so
any standard size 7 - 9 AH "brick" with spade connectors will fit, if
necessary.

It's worked so far (8 years and counting...).

I see there are some new technology batteries coming on the market for
gliders (in S&G?) - maybe we are about to move on from our beloved
lead bricks!
