Joe,
Thanks. I think that your circuit will be perfect. I can add a small battery and it doesn't matter a bit whether or not my EFIS runs at 13.2 volts or at 12.7 volts.
Cheers,

Here is circuit.  A disadvantage is 1/2 volt drop across the Schottky diode.
But if the aircraft electrical system voltage is 14.2 or higher, it should be OK.
Diode part number: 747-DSA300i45NA
If the voltage drop across the diode is not desired, normally closed relay
contacts could be connected in parallel with the diode.  Energize the relay
with the start push button.

AHHhhhhh  Got Ya!  Art!
Yea, you are right...  Get the EFIS to boot and stay Up and Running!
You got me thinking Art...  I am installing a E.I.  CGR 30P in a certified plane, it will be having oil pressure also...  I have to solve the same issue as you.  Of course I'll be limited with options, I'll have to try the Direct To Battery trick with a relay.

Art, I have noticed on a couple dual Dynon installs that while the voltage drop kicks the flight EFIS into reboot, the engine EFIS does not. I would guess this is by design. Have you asked GRT about this problem? It's possible this is something that would be worth their while to patch.

Art

Further to the best electric solution you certainly will find to avoid the brownout, a belt & suspenders solution could be to install a small oil pressure indicator.
At least that was my way to solve the same problem, before I decided to go with the TCW backup battery.

Smart circuit, but will it recharge the backup battery?

Barry,
I used a program called Express.sch
It is free and can be downloaded here:
https://www.expresspcb.com
The program has two parts, the schematic part and the circuit board part.
Use the schematic part: express.sch
After drawing your diagram, click FILE, EXPORT SCHEMATIC IMAGE.
The only choice for exporting is as a BMP file.
Open the bmp file with "PAINT", a program that is built into all versions of Windows.
Crop the picture and then save as a JPG file.

Carlos,
I think the aux battery will be recharged. Normally it will only be used for a few seconds during engine cranking, so it will run down very little. A Schottky diode will drop 0.4 - 0.5 volts when conducting 5 amps. If the aircraft electrical system operates at 14.2 volts, then 14.2 - 0.5 = 13.7 volts. That is enough to recharge a battery, albeit slowly.

Art,
The Schottky diode 747-DSA300i45NA that I mentioned earlier is really overkill for this application. Smaller Schottky diodes are available for less than $1, although not as robust.

Below is an untried circuit for someone who likes to experiment. Instead of using a heavy lead acid battery, it uses two flashlight batteries in series. Depending on the load, and considering that the batteries will only be used for a few seconds at a time, size AA or C or D can be tried. The alkaline batteries will add 3 volts to the aircraft main battery voltage during engine cranking. The diode prevents the alkaline batteries from being shorted out. The diode also keeps the load energized for the few milliseconds while the relay contacts are in transition. The normally open relay contacts connect the alkaline batteries during engine start. After starting the engine, the normally closed relay contacts short out the diode during normal operation to give full voltage to the load. If the relay coil or N.C. contacts fail, the EFIS will still get power through the diode. Before I get flamed, I am not necessarily recommending this circuit, just offering it to experimenters.

What would be wrong with throwing a big capacity directly across the power and ground as close to the EIS as you can?
You gave 5A as the current draw for the e-bus, I doubt the EIS is drawing more than one. The cap will need to be large enough to make up the difference between the voltage required and where it drops to during the 15 seconds of cranking. Part of the caps electrons will back feed to the starter, but that path has the resistance of a lot of connections and thinner wires. Plus, it won't be a direct short to ground. It has to compete with another source pumping electrons into the circuit (the battery).  The cap will get topped off as soon as you stop cranking.

Just make sure to use a slow blow fuse and be done with it.

The little device by Eric Jones & Eric Page does this in an organized manner and with inexpensive parts.
No switching, no batteries.
Give it a try.

That solution sounds reasonable in theory. The problem is that the starter motor would quickly drain the capacitor without a diode to block reverse current. Another problem is that one big capacitor rated at 15 volts or more would be impractically humongous. The solution is to use several capacitors, each rated at less voltage. Eric Jones & Eric Page have already done the engineering. Read this thread about the Deslumpifier:

The 2 attached (pilfered) figures aim to show when the EFIS reboot
occurs in the engine start sequence.
The deep voltage drawdown where the EFIS reboots is resolved as soon as
the starter motor picks up speed.
The "deslumping" only needs to hold up the voltage for a few hundred ms.

Jan so would a relay then be fast enough to catch the lump? Looking at the figures it would appear that the big spike is of very short duration.

The 2 attached (pilfered) figures aim to show when the EFIS reboot occurs in the engine start sequence.
The deep voltage drawdown where the EFIS reboots is resolved as soon as the starter motor picks up speed.
The "deslumping" only needs to hold up the voltage for a few hundred ms.

It is a race with the relay and solenoid that enables the starter motor. A small relay will win I would think.
But I would prefer the "deslumpifier" of Eric Jones that Eric Page elaborated. No moving parts, no active electronics, no batteries.

Hi Jan,  Which eric jones product are you talking about?  I've been all over his site http://www.periheliondesign.com/ and can't find anything.  I just bought 4 a123 18650 lifepo4 batteries and a battery holder I plan to wire into my EIS and EFIS, but if there is a more elegant solution from Eric I'm interested.Mickey Coggins

Even though Eric Jones designed and built a prototype, he does not sell the deslumpifier. Last I heard, he does not intend to either. Maybe he would if the demand was big enough. Eric Page built a few that had more capacitance. He sold them to AeroElectric members at cost for the parts. That was really nice of him and he did a professional job. He probably has the schematic and parts list and gerber files that are necessary to order the PC boards. With that information, a person could order the parts and make their own deslumpifier.
