As for the uses, I would think it would be better for the Lycoming crowd than the alternate engine folks, mostly due to the small capacity of the battery.   I would never consider something that small for main battery on a rotary engine, unless you had two of them (very expensive), or another alternator (heavy and complicated).   It would, however make a dandy backup battery.


I'm with Rusty on this one.  I'm needing more in the range of 30Ah worth of batteries for the engine out scenarios.  8.8Ah would be able to do little more that flash a "Pick your crash site" lamp. 8*)
