I'm using two of the B&C style batteries (one bought from a local =
battery supplier).
During my Condition inspection I reconfirmed the current required to =
keep the engine running at mid throttle (alternator breaker pulled). =
Then I load tested the batteries one at a time and was pleased to find =
that even the two year old one still supplies more than enough juice to =
keep the engine running for an hour.

I'm not flying yet, nor have I purchased the batteries. I'm planning =
an all-electric panel, with a second alternator on the vaccum pump pad. =
It's my intent to use two recombinant gas (also known as "sealed =
lead-acid") batteries, each approximately half the size and weight of =
the car battery called out in the Velocity manual. Then I can buy a new =
one at each annual, and move last year's "primary" battery to =
"secondary" service.

Any recommendations on batteries? I like sealed units. =20
=20
I want a primary battery for starting and the usual ... what do you =
think is the best with a 60 amp alternator and 12 volt system?
=20
Next, I want a back-up battery ... aren't deep cycle best for these =
applications? Deep cycles aren't made for starting but they have "long =
staying" power.=20
=20
Any thoughts?
