Optima 34R to replace original battery



A way to replace the nicad battery is to install 2 Optima R34 battery
No more problems for starting the aircraft.
They are gel sealed battery so no acid drain during aerobatics , no risk of battery run away, no need to recharge the battery and have it serviced.
Thoses batteries are 50Amps and give 1000 cold cranking amp's.
You can have the aircraft sitting for 5 months and it starts without external power...
Average cost $350 for both of them and they can be recharged at 50Amps /hour if you have a charger who can do that.
