TSO'd, no STC available so still a field approval.

I know this is a popular topic, but for a CAR 3 certified airplane, does the TSO suffice to make it legal? CAR-3 reads “Batteries. When an item of electrical equipment which is essential to the safe operation of the airplane is installed, the battery required shall have sufficient capacity to supply the electrical power necessary for dependable operation of the connected electrical equipment.”
The remaining language discusses what to do with battery acid and venting.

I seem to remember someone saying that they were paying a whole bunch more than $51/pound when trying to save weight on a cub. Mainly when using carbon fiber and titanium to save those precious pounds. Sounds silly on a 1700# airplane but sometimes it is more about losing pounds at critical CG locations as opposed to just losing pounds. We shall see, but I do love the reliability of these batteries compared to a legacy battery. Not sure how I would rank them compared to an Odyssey.

Seems you could install this battery using the Atlee Dodge under-seat, battery-rack, STC...

Does that STC provide the warning light? Does it provide a flight manual supplement with the EPS called out in the battery instructions?
I agree the Atlee Dodge STC likely provides the structural part, but not the rest.

It is pretty clear what is going on here. Low introductory price gets some people to 337 these things. Then the 337 will be used basis of everyone else's 337 until the FAA cries uncle at the paperwork deluge and grants an STC.
Bought the Earthx box with the battery.
Why not? it will fit that way
