This Earth X thread got me thinking that I am due for a new Battery in the M6, the concorde I have in it now has worked well but is at least 5 years old so I figure It's time. I don't see a lot of options for certified aircraft, what suggestions would you guys have? it has the O-540 in it so the more CCA the happier I am.

thanks

Not sure exactly what earthx battery you can use on a Maule but I have an 0-540 out of a Maule and use an earthx battery. At first I used an Odessy battery and it really wasn’t that great, I would get 2 years max out of one. Then I bought an earthx that had more cca and haven’t had a problem since. My battery is mounted on the firewall and has lasted probably 500 hours so far.

I think my problem is that in Canada we do not have field approvals so I think that may not be an option for me at this time. although I could be (and hope) I am wrong. going to head down that path.

Is it the etx-900 you have?

Yes

I know of a Canadian M5 that had an earth X in it for some time. But you are correct, legally we can’t do them in Canada yet. You could try the LSTC route, but that takes a lot of time and $$. Honestly I’d just put another Concorde in. 25AXC. Good life and easy.

My last Concorde RG-25XC lasted me ten years. I replaced it last summer with the same type, given that service.
