Hi all,

I am completing my Lancair ES, finally! I am finalizing wiring that was planned 15 years ago! I chose Z-14, Bob’s dual electric system, planning two 17 AH batteries in the rear of the airplane, and I acquired all the components years ago. I installed the battery contactors and a ground power contactor in the rear of the airplane and ran all the wiring required from the rear to the front years ago. The components in the airplane sat in a pretty humid environment, and other components said in boxes in a dryer environment. My question is whether I need to worry about shelf life of any of these components. For example, if the contactors test OK, are they good to go, or should I replace them? Generally, what components in Z-14, if any, would be susceptible to degradation from sitting?

Cheers,
Dan
