It's going to depend on the battery management system that is implemented by the battery manufacturer. In most cases, Lithium batteries will need a 13.8V or higher input before the logic will allow a charge. The AvioGuard will sit around 13.6, and so could disqualify most of your battery options.

So one is left with the question to add a wire (from the GND pins) to the MX1 or to eliminate (not install) a wire to the V16. The direct answer is that the ground on the V16 should meet the ground that goes into the MX1's connector in a splice a couple of inches behind the connector. The MX1 refer...

Adam at MichiganAvionics suggested that NOT connecting an audio ground signal gave him the best result. It should be noted that this was found on a bench-test environment, and is sometimes used as a troubleshooting step when diagnosing audio problems. Your mileage will vary here. The voltage divide...

Kirk, A "full" iEFIS system (NOT iEFIS Lite or MX1) is capable of interfacing a certified navigator like the 430, 650, 175/375, IFD 440/540 etc etc through ARINC 429. A forum user on here by the name of hpmicrowave has a dual iEFIS and dual 430W installation in his recently-completed RV. I've flown ...

Have you made any modifications to the RDAC XF wiring in any way? This is typically indicative of a backwards connection from the EGT thermocouples. In thermocouple land, Yellow is + and Red is -.

Simply, COM 2 is getting interference from COM 1's antenna. This is exaggerated when the antennas are positioned so that one is perfectly on top of the other in many cases. To get rid of this, hook up the TX Interlock between the two radios. When one radio is transmitting, the other will be unable t...
