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.
