Probably should talk to Boeing before installing it..... LI batteries may not be the best way to go.

Here's mine and it weighs about 9 LBS. The best feature is the little button on top that allows me to turn the battery off to do any repairs. I was told by lithionics.com that it should last about 10 years. The only downside is cost. I think I paid somewhere around $550. I did have to order a smaller size battery than stock to get it to fit. So, I made a brace for where the hold down clamp goes and due to the angled bar at the top of the battery it wedges itself in place and is mounted securely. It also has a CF case.
