If a "standard" exists, it's only because all of the
24-32 a.h. flooded batteries for airplanes have used
5/16" terminals. In the modern RG batteries, you'll
find terminals of 1/4" to 5/16" . . .
Buy your flying battery the week you intend to fly.
Use an el-cheepo boat or tractor battery to check
things out in the shop. Some builders are taking
advantage of a plug-in-the-wall power supply we
offer that will run a full-up airplane electrical
system on the ground. See . . .
