Brief Description:  Electrical System Planning

I reached out to Aeromomentum to check on the status of my engine, an AM10. I spoke to Mark Kettering, their engineer and owner. A great guy, he explained the delay, relating to manufacturing and importation delays. He also offered switch my deposit over to a larger AM13 engine, or even refund it I didn't want to keep waiting. I'm still sticking with the AM10, but I appreciated the offer.

He also took the time to discuss the electrical system of the AM10. The alternator is 65A, and the starter requires 100CCA, but they recommend 200CCA so that losses and environment won't cause a problem. But more to the point, he recommended 65Ah capability to be able to handle the inrush of power during start-up. They are using the SHORAI LFX36L3 battery, which I have decided to copy.

Attached is another revision of the electrical system.
