LiPo batteries are great for cranking amps but it is worth double checking the
capacity, particularly if you are flying an aircraft that relies on only
electric
pumps ( 914). The LTX9 has a capacity of only 3.6 AH.

A friend of mine in the motorcycle trade after looking at the Rotax charging
system
specified a 6.5kg lead acid. Two years later he suggested LiPo and after
7 years Im now on my second one. Its 800 grams and the first failed through age.
LTX9-BS and 80 delivered through eBay. I initially had concerns over an early
regulator failure but thats still original after 10 years and 700 hours.
Fully flooded and VRLA batteries have their place but possibly not in an
aircraft.
