Lee,
I'm not building in a battery bus either. I don't need it. The only thing that needs a battery bus on my plane is a GPS antenna keep alive. With it, the GPS locks on in 10 seconds. Without it, it locks on in 30 seconds.

I am in the process of completing the wiring design/effort on my homebuilt
F1 Rocket and am "planning" on not using a battery bus, just a main and
endurance buses. I'm using Z-13/8 (conventional mags), but don't see a need
for a "keep alive" circuit with my avionics suite (not do I need power for
an electronic ignition system). I see that other builders have put all
sorts of things on their battery bus, such as flaps, clocks, etc. Since I
may be missing something here, I'm asking: What does the "List" think ought
to be on a "modern" battery bus and what rationale is commonly used to
justify those selections, please...

Regards,

Lee...

Lee,
A slight correction. While I don't have a battery bus, I do have a fused wire from the hot battery terminal that powers my dimmer-controlled interior LED lights.
