Carbon Cub EX-3 Engine Failure (N40DT)

I emailed TCW and inquired about their IBBS battery which we have for our G3X to see if it's a viable option. It seems two of these mounted back to back would be an ideal setup. One for G3X, the other for Light Speed.

I put the EarthX battery on my Optimate charger so when it's time to install I know it's fully charged. I will keep tabs on the voltages to see if it gets to full charge from routine aircraft charging. I am considering also adding the same optimate pig tail I have on my starter battery and see if I can route it over the top under the panel so I can plug my optimate charger into it to let it maintain the battery a few times a year.

You can get the dimensions from the EarthX website but it fits in my hand, here is a picture of it on the floor of the hangar charging. It's tiny. But I don't know about fitment yet behind the panel.

Here is the pigtail for the Optimate 10A charger. I ordered this and will consider installing this on the battery.
