I don’t like the idea of having acid that can leak or spill in my aircraft. Gel cell would be an option, but I hear they are expensive. Your question about airspeed with a wind generator, I fly a 1940 B-65 with a wind generator and normal flight airspeed indicates between 90 & 95. Of course, there are variable, but it performs, no different, than the BC-12D that I had before this one. zookie, Theodosia, MO #N26658 I have run across several people who install a small gel cell battery and charge it with a solar panel on top of the instrument panel.
