Has anyone included a jump start or external power port in their aircraft?
It’s pretty difficult to start using external power on standard configuration - very little space to access the battery through the standard cowl openings…..

Re: jump start/ext power
I have a connector that runs from the battery to the cowling door. Then I plug in the battery tender right at the cowling door.

Re: jump start/ext power
thank you.
that looks like a charger/maintainer. i like the terminal
on that - it doesn’t look like you can use it
for starting though if your battery is flat ? but this is the kind of thing i’m looking for…

Re: jump start/ext power
I'm guessing it won't jump the battery, but I can't imagine it would take too long to get enough juice in the battery so it will turn over the engine.
