What's up guys?
Last Febuary I put 2 new Odyssey PC 680 batteries in the Model 12. They are connected in series 24V because it has a 24V starter. I have not flown it in about a month. Last weekend we got a nice day so me and my son got ready to go fly. We got it to find out the batteries did not have enough ass to turn it over. I charged my batteries with my Odyssey charger and it is all good now.
Should I keep a battery maintainer on the plane at all times to keep the battery full? What do you guys do? Or should I just charge the batteries every 6 months to refresh them? It does not take much juice to fire the M14, usually as soon as I touch the key it is running.
I have been reading and some folks say do not put a maintainer on a Odyssey and some do.
Just wondering if I should buy a 24V batteryminder or if that is a bad idea?
