LifePO4 batteries for motorgliders - are we there yet?
Its time again to change batteries in my motorglider. There are 4 lead batteries with modified (vibration proof) terminals. A major pita. I have been enviously following the threads for improved batteries for pure gliders. Lighter, more performance, holding their charge, longer life cycle yada yada... I have more avionics than ever and want more capacity for improved safety but have no room to spare. I would also like to shed some of the weight and get better life. I am ready. The question is however, how LIFEPO4 batteries will do with a mixed high amp crank demand of a self starter and deep cycle mode during long flights with enough umph to start at the end of the day when needed. Does anybody have experience or words of (scientific - not regulatory) wisdom? |
