One member stated that it is approved for the 415, so that's a good
sign. You'll need to check for yourself just in case.
I've run those batteries in my Bonanza for a few years now. I like
the fact that I don't have to worry about the acid leaks and
maintaining a box too much. They don't like to sit, so I use a
Battery Tender connected to the current one to keep it healthy. If
you don't fly at least once a week, you'll need to do this. Also,
DO NOT USE a cheapie battery or float charger. My Ercoupe
background came up and I bought one from Harbor Freight for about
$7. Cooked the $150.00 battery so now I use a $40 Battery Tender.

After looking at the recent discussion about batteries and the Gill
25 coming out with the recommendation, I went to my Aircraft Spruce
catalog to see what that was going to cost since I will be needing
a battery soon, I hope.
The G-25 is $136.95 (with acid shipped). For $168.95 you can get
the sealed version, G-25S. I would prefer to use that one. What
would be the approval status on it?
My experience is that sealed batteries are fine as long as you
don't ever let them discharge to zero.
