Jack,
thanks for the response. I have chossen a battery made by Hawker industries. It
is called the Odessey and I bought the model 535. This thing is a dry cell
battery that has both deep cycle capability and 535 cold crank amps, all in a
case that weighs only about 11 lbs.
I put it in the plane last night just to check it out. Man this thing can crank
my VW 2180. IN a test at 53% charge, it was still putting out 360 cold crank
amps.
These where the best stats so far that I found on a replacement battery.
By the way, I can not tell you how many times I was embarrassed when the Die
Hard I had, died on the ramp after just a few blades on the VW.
My 2180 has always been a bit trickey to get started. I have always believed
that hd mostly to do with the manual choke.

Subject: re battery
Jeff, There are batteries that are much smaller and weigh approx 10 lb.
They are used on invalid carts . A friend of mine uses one to start his
Lycoming 0-320. The battery doesn't look big enough to me but he says it will
start the engine all day long with no charge. it is not lead acid, but more
like charged condenser.
