I purchased my plane with the 35 amp battery and it kept going dead.  I would 
recharge and it would work for a while and go dead so my mechanic purchased a 
new 35 amp battery and 3 months later the same problem.  It takes a charge fine 
and will work fine but I noticed when I turn all my lights on for longer trips 
then the problem surfaces.  I am trying the Concorde RG25 and I hope the 
generator can keep this one charged.  Time will tell.
