Subject: [FlyRotary] How long can you fly on your battery??
Turned the alternator off at 5500 feet and flew for 1 hour before voltage
came down to 11 volts.
Do not know how low before some of the systems start shutting down.
Anyone have any ideas on coils, injectors, EC2's before they quit??
Had to richen up immediately when I shut alternator off. Hmmmm??
Bernie, about 39 hours now
Asuming a 15Ah battery, you are using 15 amps to power your systems. That is an awful lot. Did you shut off the alternater field?
The usual FI 13B in a plane will go for about 3 to 4 hours.
