Since winter seems to be here, it's topical to note that RG type batteries
do significantly better for cold starting. Seems the electrons don't have
to swim through that viscous chemical soup to get to where they're going.

Do you need the weight for balance? The Sealed Lead-acid (SLA) batteries
[also sometimes called Valve Regulated Acid (VRA) or Recombinant Gas (RG)
batteries] are smaller and lighter for a given power capacity, and are very
resistant to vibration, compared to "wet" batteries. They also have lower
internal resistance, so thay can provide more cranking amps for their size
than conventional lead-acid batteries. They are widely available in many
brands and sizes, both from local stores and from national or regional
suppliers. Basically ideal aircraft batteries.
See http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/rg_bat.html
<http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/rg_bat.html> for a description of the
technology.
For a view of some of the available sizes and styles, see

I'm planning to use a couple of SLA batteries in my XL, since it will have
dual electrical busses.

I've been running a Sears Die Hard group 26 battery in my IO-360 std-rg for
many years. However, it's time for a fresh battery and I'm looking for
other options.
What are you guys using? How happy are you?
Thanks!
Dave
