EarthX battery for Experimental Aircraft

Now, only if the ELT were as easy to remove and re-install...

I personally don't have a problem with the ELT. I disconnect the antenna then with the seat completely tilted forward it's easy to access.

Specs comparison:

ETX-900: Dimensions: 6.5" L x 3" W x 6.6" H
ETX-1200: Dimensions: 6.5" L x 3" W x 6.6" H

Seems like a no brainer to me to now go with the ETX-1200 as someone else suggested a few days ago.

Isn't the limiting factor when jumping up in CCA capabilities the gauge of the installed battery cable?

No electrical engineer here but yeah, if something can request more amps the cables need to be sized for it. However, components that demand the amps typically have their limits so if a battery can deliver X CCA's it doesn't mean the component can demand it.

There is another discussion here in another thread that EarthX recommends NOT using the 1200 and that the 900 is the correct match and should be used. I think it was @lrobichaux asking on the CubCrafters Product Support Facebook group.
