Heating pad for LiFePO4 (Lithium) batteries in your aircraft

[Cubonaut875]

For sure, I'm rethinking my usual procedure and I think I'll leave it off the charger. The plane starts so much better with the new coil. I just have a feeling it was an underperforming coil all along, if that is possible. As far as hand propping, standing behind the prop and hand propping a low compression engine on a J3 is one thing, standing underneath that big Trailblazer prop and pulling 186 fuel injected horses through is more than I can think about. I too have a jump starter battery pigtailed in. With that said, and maybe this should be a new thread, what is your hot start procedure? Hot start in cool weather at the fuel pump and true hot start in 90 degree weather?

Good idea, start any new threads for new topics as desired to ask, discuss, or share lessons learned.
