hi list
starting to put together my electrical system. when
testing the lights and other electrical componets,
what should i use as a power source. i was thinking
of buying my aircraft battery now and using it until i
am ready to put it in the aircraft. will this damage
it and or is it powerful enough for testing purposes.
i can recharge it anytime but perhaps using it for
testing is a bad idea any recommendations would be
helpful. thanks in advance

Tony Bengelis suggests using a battery charger in "SportPlane Construction
Techniques" on page 162 to test flap actuators.

Kevin,
I am glad that Tony Bingelis recommended that,
because that is exactly what I did this week. The
battery I ordered didn't come in time, so I used my
battery charger to test my radio, nav, intercom, and
CDI. Worked like a champ.
I have also used the battery out of my 14v
electric drill to test the mac trim servos. Pretty
convenient...

Cheap battery charges are not filtered and can reek havoc on electronic gear
(as opposed to motors, lights, etc).

I used the little 12V gel cell battery that runs the break-away emergency
brake system for my trailer. I didn't buy a battery for the airplane until
it was almost ready to fly.
