With all the charging system/ regulator problem the RV12 has had not sure if I’d be onboard with that!Rotax just released their own Lithium-ion battery to go with their engine - underneath it is just EarthX battery in Rotax clothing
Obviously thy do trust underlying technology ….
And Rotax clearly put the operator in the position of determining “certification”.
“The battery is not a part of the Engine Type Design. Lithium-ion batteries
part no. 966260 and 966265 have been tested and released by BRP-
Rotax, but are not certified. The correct function in conjunction with the
entire electrical system is the responsibility of the aircraft manufacturer.
The certification of the battery is the responsibility of the aircraft
manufacturer and must be carried out jointly with the aircraft.”
