So, I've read with great interest several threads about the new extremely lightweight lithium batteries from Aervoltz.... among others.
It time for my ASII's annual and I need a battery and it sounds like a great way to lose almost 20lbs verses the Concorde battery that I have now.
From what I can tell, at least from my research on the internet, they are nice batteries. And, it sounds like the manufacturer has taken the steps to ensure that they are safe. My concern though, is that they list a maximum environment temperature of 140 degrees F. My battery is mounted on the firewall, and I would like to keep it there. Anybody have any idea of what the temperatures are under an aircraft's cowling? Would a cooling blast tube for the battery be a wise idea?
I have posed this question to the manufacturer as well. But, I'm guessing that they haven't done alot of research on the temperatures in the cowlings of small aircraft.
