Hi Tony
"Could you please tell me about your battery location, and maybe you could give
me your opinion of my plan"
My Odyssey 545 is mounted aft of baggage bay ribs, pretty stuck to fuse. I have
a mono XS with 914, intercooler, Airmaster and SD20S alternator on vacuum pad,
thus XS in this config tending to be nose heavy. It is accessible through
d-opening
without too much effort. Had problems with strobe noise from my Kunzleman
strobes getting into AAE nav/com antenna on port side of fuse even with strobe
PS on wingtips, battery influences antenna location.
As far as your plan, I don't know how aft you need CG. If you mount where you
say,
you could always add some lead to sternpost if needed. Many prefer to keep
battery on firewall footwells and add lead aft if needed. I did calculation and
with CCA will save weight over footwell mounting (just a little it is in links
below I think). It also makes sense since I wanted battery switch and other
electrics in headrest.
