What Have You Done Today To Your Kitfox?

Are you using the Powersonic battery as a backup?

Yes sir - sort of. It will function as a true backup for about an hour if I secure everything but the bare-bones need-to-fly stuff. My primary goal was to be able to get the EFIS, EIS and the radio up and running before starting the engine and not make any of them suffer from power surges or the drop in voltage during start up. I isolated the Powersonic from the main battery with a Schottky diode so it (in theory anyway) doesn't participate in the start up.

Nice. Thanks for the reply.
