Hi! Roland,
Hope you are well and ready for a new flying season?
As you may have noticed my twin odyssey 13.5 amp hour batteries are mounted
on the passenger foot well. I would guess all of 12" or (300mm in your
speak) to the HD Starter. Never a kick back and an immediate start up
without fail ......so long as you remember to switch the electric fuel pumps
on ! I will never forget the hassle I had getting the Jabiru Six cylinder
donkey to power up from the battery behind the seats ! Recommendations from
all and sundry until I used my own brain on the issue !
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG. 914 Rotax.

Hi,
Silent Hektik says, the distance from the battery to the HD-starter should
not be more than half a meter
http://www.silent-hektik.com/UL_912_Anlasser.htm. It seems to be a
recommendation to achieve the best effect.
Many of the 914-jockeys do have the battery installed in the baggage bay
behind the seats (me too).
That said, I wonder, if it makes a big difference between a conventional and
a LiFePo Battery.
On the other hand I don't have problems with the stock Rotax starter other
than occasional kick backs on low/very low temperatures.
Regards
Roland
