The brunt of our research has been reading many sources about different battery concerns, specifications, types, and inspection routines. The EAA, Skybrary, and AVStop websites have all been extremely useful resources for our specific concerns.
This Skybrary page was an excellent starting point for our research. It provided an overarching introduction to basic battery information, including vocabulary and types of batteries in a clear and easy to understand format.
The EAA site was most useful for battery information as it pertains to homebuilt airplanes, which is exactly what we are working on. This page spoke about ways to avoid problems with batteries in homebuilt aircraft. It will be useful for our design considerations, showing us potential issues we can avoid through our design choices.
Finally, this AVStop page provided a comprehensive list of battery considerations and requirements, with excellent illustrations linked as well. We plan to keep the information learned from all of these pages in mind as we work on the batteries, and will definitely continue to reference them in the future.
