Wow! RTFI? Ercoupers? Good call, Lynn. If you still have the original charging system you need to be aware with some models and mostly all will need a new battery box lid. Good call.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2009 11:47 AM Subject: [ercoupe-tech] Battery talk..... 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.
