Paul, My 914/ Kremen CS combination has got along beautifully with a 17 AH
Odyssey gas recombinant battery which sits on the starboard firewall. They
are said to be capable of producing 1000amps cranking power and it certainly
feels like it. I am quite prepared to believe that you could get away with a
13 AH version, although you would have diminished get home capability with
the 2 electric fuel pumps if the alternator packed up (having said which, if
the battery is full and the wits are sharp and every thing else is switched
off you should comfortably outlast the fuel supply).It weighs about 6kg.
