The battery died on one of the 172s we lease. Since we are responsible for 100% or any maintenance costs outside of an engine failure, we "get" to buy a new battery. OUCH!
Of course no one keeps them in stock locally, so we had to have it shipped for overnight delivery. Oh, and since acid is a hazardous material, no acid. So the FBO had to run to a place several miles away to get some acid. Fill up the battery, do some charging and testing and then install it and dispose of the old battery. Now this is a battery smaller the size of one in a very small sports car so it is fairly small. OUCH! ouch ouch.
