As you know it has been sometimes an headache to start hot engines,

After several attempts to start the engine , eventually throttle wide open, rotating the prop in opposite direction i could start it and i found myself flying with efis display turned into black and white screen, transponder not operating , all for a while , may be 5 to 10 minutes,then everything turned into normal conditions,

One other time engine started normaly but i could not receive any messages from tower at the holding point which reminds me low current/ voltage, that was a busy international airport , thanks to hand helds by the way

That was the reason why i asked the questions, i am about to come to a decision to change my battery which is new with another brand,

Thanks to all who have shared their opinions,
