The only one I can think of is voltage runaway of the regulator cooking the
battery. This is adequately taken care of by fitting a 'Crowbar Unit' as
described by Bob Nuckolls. I would suggest that any Europa reliant on the
electrical system for the engine to run (ie. Rotax 914 or Subaru) has one of
these fitted.
