So im going to go ahead and put in a super-capacitor "battery" should save about 30lbs of weight....But only gives you a couple tries to get the engine started.

SOoooo, if necessary can a 924 be push started? Im just not sure how well CIS would work with that method.

Without power to the fuel pump im not sure how easy that will be. Isn't it a better solution with a Lifepo4 battery, not much heaver, and i can crank for a looong time if i need to.

Yes, it absolutely can.

But I have been very happy with the Antigravity Batteries LiPo in my P2... excellent durability. Definitely get the matching charger.

Best if you jumper the FPR.
