REFLECTOR:Odyssey Battery

[Jack Sheehan]

John.
Hard to say since my old battery was about 2 years old when it first 
flew. The voltage drop is really not that significant since it would 
just get below about 12.9 volts for just a second or two. The new 
battery was from sears they sell for about $120. It is an SLA battery 
as was being described earlier. The battery has about 920 CCA as 
compared to my old one which was about 680 CCA The spec sheet shows 
it being able to sustain a 25 amp load for 90 minutes down to 10.5 
volts. Since I have a fairly heavy load on my instrument panel I 
wanted a bigger battery. I think the heaviest load items normally on 
in my airplane are the strobe and landing lights.
