I have the GD40 in my RV10. Installs very easily on the sub-panel. Audio line to the audio panel for announciations. Serial line to the EFIS for data/visual warnings. There is a small LED light and sw ...

A couple of things come to mind as I am working through this same issue.

The EarthX 36 is LOWER reserve/usable capacity than the PC925. They do not recommend this as a swap for the 925.

Unfortunately he did the same thing about 2 years ago to "clarify" the list of who was interested. I wouldn't hold much to it.

The mothership runs with ballast in the baggage compartment most of the time. I have a bag with 20lbs of Shot in there now. I started with 40lbs, for solo work, but since I have added a survival/maint ...

Van's sells their small kit of expired proseal for about 50-75% off if they have some on hand. Just let them know you want the expired stuff.
