I replaced my standard GILL-35 battery back in August, but I having problems with the battery being dead again. The plane still has the stock generator. I'm working with my mechanic on this, but I could use a how-to guide for troubleshooting this kind issue so I have a process to follow.
A side issue is that when I attempt to start the plane with the weak battery the bendix gear engages on the flex plate (?) but doesn't release. Is this normal, or an indicator of something else that is wrong? Is it OK to hand prop the plane with that gear engaged?
