COLLEGE STATION, TX
I already have a B&C generator and starter and I now am ready to lose 25 pounds (and several hundred $) from behind the back seat by dumping the old 30# battery.
1. Has anyone been successful getting ETX900-TSO battery approved in a certified A/C? Process, 337 or what?
2. Should I put it under the seat or is the firewall an option?
3. Should I be concerned about sitting on top of a potential fire if under the seat?
I don't know much about these batteries other than they are lightweight, powerful and expensive and potentially explosive if overcharged but hopefully the B&C generator, regulator and crowbar circuit prevents that.
PS: Any "helpful" advice like "remove the electrical system and throw it away", don't, I already know that, and if I want to prop a plane I will fly my J3 which I have owned and propped for 30 years. Been there, done that, no more T-Shirts needed. I am spoiled now and I like pushing the button!
Thanks ALL!
