Actually, a "standard" 35 series battery, as used in many certified
planes with battery in the tail cone is only 29 amp hours(CB35A or
RG35A) or less. The battery that I recall Vans recommending is either 22
or 24 amp hours (RG25 or RG25XC).

Bob,
Same info I got from skytec when planning eng order through Van's. Lycoming told me to swap it out after I received engine. I already had #2 ga wire ran. I have PC925 main and PC680 aux bat both in the back. What I noticed with cert planes/IO-540 is that they had 35 aH bat.
So, I believe it is a combination of inadequate bat and wire size for the long run to the front. I will see how my 925 starts it and change if I need to then. I can combine bat for 43 aH during cold wx if needed.
