V16 Longevity

Hello all. Wondering if anyone else has experience a failure with their V16. We just lost our 2nd V16 today. The plane came with a V16 when we bought it and that one failed after about 3 years (according to the installation date in the log). We replaced it with a new V16 and that one failed today at...

I'm just curious if anyone is doing this now.

Thanks

Lithium Ion Backup battery and AVIOGuard

Has anyone used Lithium-Ion backup batteries for their iEFIS systems? Looking to add a backup battery and AVIOGuard to my existing iEFIS system. Does anyone know if the AVIOGuard can charge Lithium-Ion batteries? The AVIOGuard manual specifically mentions lead-acid and I know the two battery types r...
