I need to replace my PC680 AGM battery.  The weight advantage of choosing one of
the new generation Lithium iron phosphate batteries is stunning (several kg).
The weight-saving comes at a price premium of course.

Does any Europa owner have one of these LiFeo4 batteries in service and in 
particular:

1) What is the typical life of these batteries (experience data preferred over
product information)?
2) What UK supplier did you use?
3) If you have a Rotax 912S, which battery did you choose?
4) As a result of the weight save, did you have to relocate the battery to 
preserve
W&B, and if so where did you site it?
5) Do the LAA care about the fitment of these batteries/any permit 
complications?

All comment appreciated
