Hi Richard,
Thanks for that. I have made a shelf for the battery under the Stbd floor
stowage
of the baggage bay, if I commit to it, but had not thought of needing access
to the transponder unit so was going to keep it down the back with the antenna,
and keep the high power cable run short between antenna and unit. Re the
battery,
it seems like I either consider a lead acid sealed cell battery like my
Odyssey PC 680 at 7 kg on the pax footwell, or under baggage bay floor, or I
could use a Lithium Polymer Haijiu at less tha 1 kg up front on the footwell.
Because I have the 914 and electric fuel pumps, I could even have a dual battery
setup at less than 2 kg! The Haijiu another builder has used to crank his
912 S for 4 years.

should or will need the battery to go down the back, beside the tail plane
counterbalance containment tower. If not, I can use the mount that I have
built back there for a Trigg transponder remote unit mount. Also, in the not too
distant future if I decide on putting the battery back there, well I'll need
to run big cabling too before my top goes on, hopefully mid year. Any thought
much appreciated.
