How I installed a LiFePo battery and saved 11lbs!

If you're talking about the Shorai battery, it's CCA is 270amps - well over the max pull from the starter at about 200amps. Continuous approaches zero while the alternator is operating, and my electrical analysis spreadsheet shows a 12amp draw in the event of alternator failure.

>500 hours of operating in MN summers (>90?F), winter (<0?F), VFR/IFR, Day/Night, acro (incl. IAC and mock aerial combat) and zero failures. A complete discharge due to leaving the master on. It's still going strong...
