 Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2009 1:22 pm Post subject: Battery Service report |
 |
|
I wanted to report that I have a Sears Wheel Chair battery that I
purchased a few months prior to my RV10's first flight. I used this
battery on my RV6 for about 13 years and had good luck with it.
Yesterday, after three years of service, I finally replaced it with a
new one.
The original battery cost $59 and the replacement was $89.
This battery will crack nicely with the Sky-Tec NL model starter.

I am away from home and don't have access to the aprt no. but they
only carry one model in the stores. It starts with 27. It looks like
a garden tractor battery and fits the Rv10's battery tray perfect.
This used to be a gel-cel (dry cel) battery and it might still be. It
is not a wet lead acid battery.
Mine is not the same as the link David has sent. If you can wait
until Thursday, I will be home and will send you the model No. Just
let me know off line.

Is it gas recombinant or standard lead-acid with caps?
After having acid spill in a Piper Archer a few years ago, I would not use anything except a sealed unit. With the elevator push-rod under the battery in the RV10 I would never use a std lead-acid-capped unit.

I agree with that observation 100%. I also have had acid spills in previous
airplanes. Not something I want to repeat.

Ther is no acid to spill. This is a wheel chair battery used for indoors.
