It is a sealed, no maintenance unit and is under the front area connected to the forward hinged canopy. The canopy must be removed to access the battery. Living in Arizona, I have never had a battery last more than 18 months. This includes cars, boats, RV's and airplanes. If this battery fails, I am stuck until I replace it. No jumping it. I figure I have 2 options. Replace battery every year or maybe run cables to an area where it could be jumped. Or maybe an APU. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
