I'm ready to build my battery box and need to modify it to fit dual battery's. Only problem is that I don't know which battery to use. Any suggestions??? How does one decide on which battery is the "right" battery, and where can I find measurements for these batteries so I know how big to make the tray.

Thanks,
Bill

Regarding the batteries. They are both Panasonic LCR SLA type batteries. The main battery is a 28 Amp-hour. The auxilary battery is a 17 amp-hour type. (although a 20 amp-hour is now available in the exact same size). I've used the 28 amp-hour battery in our Glastar for 3 years now and it has worked very well.

Bob,
Do you have some more close-ups of how you mounted the ends of your table/shelf to the stiffeners and the battery tray? I really like the look of that installation, probably replacing the ELT with the Strobe PS for my needs.

do not archive

Jesse,
I have more photo's of the tray design and mounting. This weekend
I was planning on editing those pictures along with the pictures of side
step bushings I designed and put them up on my web site. I forgot to
put my strobe power supply on the tray, but it's suppose to be on
there. I'll add that and put it up with all the pictures. I will
get to it Saturday and post a link on Sunday. I've been planning a
RV-10 section of my web site for the purpose of showing modifications to
my -10.

Best regards,
Bob Newman

Thanks for the information and pictures on the Battery/trays. Bob, I really
like the looks of that accessories tray that you built. If you get some
pictures of it please let me know. This would be a good time to work
something like that into my build. As for the battery tray dimensions, I
think I'll probably go with PC680s. The length is 7.27" and the width is
3.11". Do I need to buy the batteries and build the box to exact dimensions
of the 2 batteries or is it acceptable to just build the tray maybe 1/4"
larger on each side so that I know the batteries will fit later on when I
get them.

Thanks again for all the input,
Bill Britton

Has anyone come up with a way to mount a 7ah battery up under the insturment panel or on the backside of the firewall? One of the smaller gel cells used in alarm systems seems like a nice backup battery for the EFIS system.

Vern, this is in my 7 but the same concept probably works in the 10. Battery is suspended directly under the AHRS. The bus right beside it is the Aux Bat which feeds separate switches for the EFIS which allows it to be powered on before/while starting or in an emergency but disconnected from the main bus. The Aux Bat also charges from the main bus during normal operations through a D25 diode. As I remember it, the battery is a Panasonic P212 (7ah) recommended on the AE list.

Hope this helps.

Forgot this one. It shows the rear and front hold down brackets. On the front, it is just a little plate that is bolted in to hold it in place. Flush rivet on the inside.

Bill,

This is exactly what I was looking for or something close to it. Originally, I was planning on two equal sized batteries behind the luggage area, but just didn't need that kind of capacity or weight in an Aux battery. Plus I like the idea of the shorter power leads with it mounted near the panel.

Thanks,

Vern

Battery is suspended directly under the AHRS.  The bus right beside it is the Aux Bat which feeds separate switches for the EFIS which allows it to be powered on before/while starting or in an emergency but disconnected from the main bus. The Aux Bat also charges from the main bus during normal operations through a D25 diode.   As I remember it, the battery is a Panasonic P212 (7ah) recommended on the AE list.

Hope this helps.

Has anyone come up with a way to mount a 7ah battery up under the insturment panel or on the backside of the firewall? One of the smaller gel cells used in alarm systems seems like a nice backup battery for the EFIS system.

Thanks for the information and pictures on the Battery/trays. Bob, I really
like the looks of that accessories tray that you built. If you get some
pictures of it please let me know. This would be a good time to work
something like that into my build. As for the battery tray dimensions, I
think I'll probably go with PC680s. The length is 7.27" and the width is
3.11". Do I need to buy the batteries and build the box to exact dimensions
of the 2 batteries or is it acceptable to just build the tray maybe 1/4"
larger on each side so that I know the batteries will fit later on when I
get them.

Thanks again for all the input,
Bill Britton

Thanks to everyone who has documented and posted their installations. I just built my solution on top of everyone who had done one before. This site and community is the best!

How does one decide on which battery is the "right" battery, and where can I find measurements for these batteries so I know how big to make the tray.

Thanks,
Bill
