I am planning to use a small PC310 as a primary battery in a system

designed for 1 battery in a VFR only Rotax powered aircraft.  Is it possible to parallel a larger PC680 for occasions when I would want to extend my

reserve capacity time?  Or should I plan to only use a second PC310

for such an application?

   It's okay to parallel batteries of two different sizes

   and/or station in their service life.

Great question Marv!



I am doing the opposite (big main - start this thing, small - back me up

because everyone says dual electronic ignitions on airplanes is the work

of the devil) and never asked the question (some assumptions on my

part). Hey, it's all 14 volt, so when the meter do-hicky-thing says 13.6

- ? it stops charging. It's all about reserves. Sort of like your gas

tank, when it's half empty, it's half empty no matter the size.



Thanks,

Glenn
