Would be nice if battery was easily replaceable

Installed this on a '19 Blackhawk paramotor powered by a Talon 190 3.0 2-stroke single. My 1st one, the one the unit came with, had a dead battery not long after purchase. I had to pretty much destroy the unit in order to change the internal battery. I limped that one along for over a year using solder on the battery connections, and sealer around the case, until finally having to break down and buy a new one. These are solid units, very well engineered, and are usually reliable. The first one may have been kicking around that paramotor dealer's shop for a long time - he threw it in as part of a deal, so that's to be expected. The cylinder head temp gauge is still working, however. Could've just been a defective battery from the factory, too. Either way, glad to finally have a replacement. Only bad part is I lost my total engine hours data, so now it's just a rough guess. Will be nice having a tachometer again.
