LiFePo Refit Part 23 AC
Hi Eric,
The advice I got from Fidel was specific to batteries mounted high in the vertical fin.Â* Think of an inverted pendulum.Â* The visible damage appears as long cracks in the gel coat partially around the tail boom at the leading edge of the base of the fin.Â* I wouldn't be surprised that there would be damage to the underlying structure, but I have no direct knowledge of that.Â* I doubt there's any mechanical problem with fuselage mounted batteries, though I always removed mine so that they'd be fully charged when I arrived at my destination.Â* They were ease to remove, however.

Is that based on gel coat cracking (the original reason for removing the tail battery), the potential for fires caused by the battery while trailering, or to protect the battery from damage during trailering? Removing the main batteries from a Schleicher motorglider (ASH 26E and later), and DG motorgliders is very time-consuming. Since I'm not aware of any problems caused by leaving the main batteries in during trailering in these gliders, I think removing and replacing them is likely to cause more problems than it avoids. -- Dan, 5J |
