@BUKS VAN NIEKERK,
You should clearly mention what you actually mean. We are confusing to answer your question. I can better answer to your question if you clear it.

The battery was put to rest this weekend. The funeral was well attended. Spotted at the funeral were his brothers Exide and Willard. After the service everyone felt a little run down but tea and sandwiches soon had them all charged up.
RIP

Eish guys, sorry all, i don't get to the forum any more
this is my storie, a new battery was fitted last year, my trike is fitted with a electric start,and worked like a new battery, then i noticed the electric start became more difficult as the battery looses power, i recharged the battery and it worked good again, now the thing is dead( flat) again, and NIE LUS to remove charge and refit, i don't have a lot of time to fly, because of change in job so
i try and fly 30 min or so every weekend late afternoons, and thinking its not enough to recharge the battery, so what i do is pull start the microlight and do circuits, the instrument on it is a altimeter and speed indicator, so nothing else other than the starter works of the battery, and i don't charge my radio as the radio is brand new, radio battery fully charged at home, so can the engine cut out?, or result in a engine out, because of a dead battery, in my stupidity i don't thinks so, but want to be sure, hope this make sence,
