I have just bought a lithium battery for my 912 and one for my bike a suzuki gsxf 750, all the other betteries were just too heavy , I had odyssey betteries before and swear by them but when it came to the plane an odyessy was 4.5 kg and the li motorcell was 1 kg, when I saw it I thought it was a plastic on counter advertising unit but NO it was real . I tried the the battery in the bike first , always needed choke , this little battery the size of two packets of fags ( no I'm not a smoker ) but turns the engine over so fast I never use choke now. I am in the process of building so the wiring is at the final stage of completion and I fitted a prop just to wind the engine over and prime the lubrication system, ,it turns the engine over just as good as the odyssey if not better with 340 caa, will recharge in ( 6 minutes from flat to 90% and will do this 2000 time / cycles and has a two year warranty for $100 less than a odyssey which gave me zero warranty on my last one what threw the towel in at less than 200 hours less than one year. They are guaranteed against fire, what more can I say , I'm happy . Ian

I was looking at putting a Lithium Ion battery in my Thruster, I have a Odyssey PC625 battery in my thruster at the moment and it does'nt quit fit properly in the battery cradle. I can get a Lithium battery that will fit perfectly in my battery cradle, and it weight is 1kg and has 290 cold cranking amps. My Odyssey battery weight is 6kg's and 200cca.

I would like to know if anyone has used a Lithium battery in there aircraft.

thought you had fallen of the face off the earth, hope the pitot cover is still working, are you going to bulldust castle on the 9th, anyway seems like you have a handle on the public service, what I want to know is who , how and where is all the information that was handed in when the aircraft was first registered, with the last aircraft I submitted it twice with two lots of photos and they were missing only two month ago?????. cheers catch you for a beer . spottydog

from one flying dog to another! Have some friends with Savannahs and they wouldn't have anything else. Great roomy, versatile plane. Where do you fly?I can't get to Canberra either, so our votes had to go to proxies we trusted. There are lists of people going who can take a proxy for you - unfortunately they are spotted all over the place (threads). Try "9 Days to Go" on the Governing Bodies forum. I think there were some there, read some of their posts to get an idea of what they stand for and go for it. You can give your proxy holder some guidance so they can vote according to your wishes.

 

Did you build your Sav?
