Ain't no such thing as a gel cell any more. The recombinant
gas batteries are sold by EVERYBODY. There are a half
dozen consumer battery stores in Wichita that handle
the 17 a.h. class battery. Look for brands like Panasonic,
Yuasa, Powersonic, etc. If the battery is "sealed lead
acid", has dimensions on the order of 3" x 6.5" x 6.5"
and has terminals that will accept 4AWG wire attached with
1/4" bolts, then it's what you want. They shouldn't cost
you more than $65.
Don't buy your flight battery until you're ready to fly
the airplane. Jury-rig a car or garden tractor battery
into your system for ground testing or use a ground
power supply like . . .

Go buy your flight battery the day before you take the
airplane to the airport.
