Concorde Battery's Skip Koss is one of our favorite experts...
and possesses a true treasure trove of aviation
knowledge--especially when it comes to batteries and electrical
systems. Over the course of many years, Skip has seen it all when
it comes to the electrical power that keeps todays's aircraft in
the sky.
Skip, though, has some concerns... and is seeing more and more
examples of aircraft that apparently consume power even when
everything seems to be turned off.. These "Parasitic Loads" can be
considerable... at best draining the battery and making it
necessary to recharge your systems-- or, at worst, draining
batteries so far as to do permanent damage.
Skip has some thoughts about this problem and what to do about
it-- hence the subject of this particular Aero-TV Safety Tip.
