 Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2008 5:21 am Post subject: Dynon draining battery? |
 |
|
My aircraft battery doesnt seem to be keeping charge as well as it used
to, and its new. I am hearing a rythmic ticking at a one second
interval sometimes but not always, with the master off. I have my Dynon
D-10A wired to charge the internal battery without the master being on.
Just wondering if anyone else has heard this mysterious ticking or
noticed a battery drain with their Dynon.

Check your hobbs on the dynon... does it appear to be gaining time with
the master off? If so, then you may have the dynon keep alive wired
incorrectly...

Yes, I’ve had the problem. I purchased one of the early Dynon models, about 6 years ago. I had it back to the company 2-3 times before first flight with several developmental issues, but received great support. During the first year of flight time, I shut down the aircraft normally one evening and as I was exiting the hangar, I noticed a light from the canopy and found that the Dynon was running (still). I manually shut it down, but found that it turned itself back on again. Knowing it would drain the battery completely, I disconnected it from the buss. After calling Dynon, they suggested that the keep alive circuit was malfunctioning. They told me I could send the unit back again for investigation, or cut the wire from the aircraft power to the backup internal Dynon battery. I did so, and have never had a problem since.
