DO NOT BUY for a certified aircraft! I attempted to install via a field approval but it was denied. Upon reaching out I was told that they will only be allowed by STC. I was hopeful because this battery seemed like a great option to replace my current battery and shed some weight. Maybe someday there will be an STC...
