I have two had airplanes with Odyssey batteries and never a problem! I left the battery switch on and drained one completely down once. I followed the instructions on their website and brought it

Sounds like Odyssey might have a quality control problem. My 925 works fine after five years, has sat for up to three months in the winter, never seen a battery maintainer, and always starts on the

Steve, What is the basis for your statement "the connection between the cells are designed to fail"? I have two Odyssey PC 680's in my Defiant. I replaced both of them last year. Both had 5 years

We've done this a few times since we built our first Berkut and realized that it is a good idea. Be careful not to use too flimsy of material, we discovered one retainer on a Berkut that let

Folks: It has been pointed out to me by a mailing list member that James Redmon's Berkut is the same system, I believe: Not exactly the same, but 99%. So credit where it is due. Thanks, James. --

Folks: We've discussed this type of thing before, but a Long-EZ I'm working on had a particularly nice outer main spar wing bolt retention scheme that makes it very simple for one person to remove and

Hi All, A pal of mine in the UK is replacing his original panel with an alum panel during an instrument upgrade. There is no "education and recreation" category here, so he has to get

That is interesting to me... My 925 has been in the plane now for 7-3/4 years and still going strong as new, never abused but never babied either... I did not realize that there are reported quality

Hi Canard Aviators I am in need of a photo of Nat Puffer. Looking for a good face shot. This is for a PowerPoint presentation to be given at AirVenture this year. I would like a JPG emailed if

I have two due to dual ignition and leave the Odessey charger on all the time. Always starts fine. These batteries are two to three years old now. Maybe I shouldn't have bragged on them. I'll go out
