On my plane I went from an Oddyssey PC680 to an AeroAkku LFP450D. The combined weight savings of the lighter battery and mounting materials is 5kg, which equates to 7 liters more fuel at MTOW, which equates to 25 minutes extra range. I do appreciate having that headroom.

Hi Rob;
Were you able to buy your aeroakku battery in the USA, and if so where?
Thanks.
Cheers! Stu.

Hi Stu,
I got them from Germany, but that's because I live 'nextdoor' in The Netherlands.
For USA you can get similar product from EarthX
Best,
Rob
