Battery Ect. - Feb 2006

The Gill-35 seems to the
  usual battery in the Ximango. Is the equivelent 'concorde' battery the same ?
  Been reading in the files about battery /backup etc and as I have only had one occasion when I could not restart because of  low battery and too low for a aero start

Dear readers,
  The Gill-35 seems to the
  usual battery in the Ximango. Is the equivelent 'concorde' battery the same ?
  Been reading in the files about battery /backup etc and as I have only had one occasion when I could not restart because of  low battery and too low for a aero start
  I am sure the best insurance is to fit a volt meter. Anyone fitted a volt meter and is there any wiring tips. Lastely my Gill -35 shows a full charge at 12.2 volts Should it be closer to 12.5 volts . Maybe time to buy another battery

  Gentlemen:

Thanks very much. It seems that the rates have climbed a little since I
had #123. This is all good info to be factored into the purchase
decision.

I really miss flying and am looking forward to getting another aircraft of
some nature.

Best wishes,
Tom Frazer

John:

I use a voltmeter and I agree, it is better than the panel mounted ammete=
