How much should I pay for a DA40 battery?
I'm thinking of replacing mine on my '08 XLS. The shop doing my annual quoted me $700. I have no idea what battery I should get nor what they cost. Any help, much appreciated.

This is the battery you need: RG24-15M which runs $479 from AircraftSpruce. it's not too difficult to replace it yourself, if you are so inclined - replacing the battery is one of those things a pilot can legally do!

Hi , I agree with Rick, just replaced mine, RG24-15M .... Same price in EUR. Did it myself. No big deal.
After 4-5 y its a good idea to replace the batt. Specially if you flying to places without the poss to get GND power.
