The Sealed Lead Acid UB1290 fit perfectly in the Discus CS, anyone have a good fitting Lithium battery replacement recommended model? The UB1290 appear to be 150mm Wide x 65mm deep x 90mm high. Thanks for your thoughts! - Michael Price

I have been using K2 Energy - LiFePo₄ Batteries, work great and last a long time. cost about $150 plus $30 for charger. I have 2 in my ship but really only need 1.

You can get them from Fox one corp http://www.foxonecorp.com/index.php/accessories/lithium-iron-battery

I have been using LifePo4 batteries from Bioenno Power for about 4 years now. Great battery life so far. I've flown up to 9 hours on a single 12ah battery with flarm, transponder, radio, flight computer, etc running off that battery. They have a variety of deep cycle options to fit just about any application.
