Battery Survey Aviation Consumer Summer 2011
The results of this survey will be posted in an upcoming article in Aviation Consumer Magazine as well as on AVWeb. Please follow instructions so we can accurately sort responses. You do not have to answer all the questions, but it will help make the survey more beneficial to readers.
The collated responses and our recommendations will help you understand what you can expect from your battery, and what brands and voltage types of battery work the most reliably—at least based on this survey. It will also help to show if a battery charger and flying habits influence battery longevity. We will also furnish tips on how to make your battery last longer, guaranteed. Just check the appropriate letter, or write in response, for example such as in question 3, the type of plane you fly.
