Are you using an auto-engine conversion? If you have a mag fired engine a=20
backup battery is just wasted dead weight. The Wal-mart battery that fits=20
your tray will crank you engine for a long, long time (don't ask how I know=20
that :0 ) and more importantly it will run your avionics for a very long=20
time. Longer than your fuel supply will last. So why bother?
If you are using an auto engine then never mind, get the backup battery.=20
