In the experimental environment for the average low  tech, low power (but also low temp winters) requirements (Rotax 912S  100hp), is the extra expense of the RG batteries worth it?

  

 I once put an Odyssey 680 in a Mazda 13b aircraft  replacing a cheap utility battery and wasn't all that impressed with cranking  capacity and shelf life.

 When a friend wanted to order a larger RG for his  210 the local flying club maintenance guy said they tried them in their school  aircraft and also didn't stay with them.

 What is the data on these batteries?

 Is "Immobilized electrolyte" the same as  Recombinant gas?

 Thanks

 Peter

Peter,

  

 I'm using a Odyssey 680 for my  912ULS and am quite pleased with  it. I have been flying up to the middle of January, now I am snowed in.
