Craig et. al., As John Cooper has pointed out, what you are suggesting is to use unapproved parts in an aircraft. Besides the ramp check which is not a likely scenario, a more likely one is that after any incident which involves your insurance company, you could be denied part of a claim based on damage alleged to be caused by an unapproved battery. I happen to use an unapproved battery in my Forney, a gel-cell that sells for garden tractor use and has no liquid. My point therefore is not that no one ever does it, but rather that it doesn't seem like a good idea to recommend it without caveats. When I have my annual done, I put the dead, albeit legal, battery in so my IA can sign off the airplane as being airworthy I.E. equipped with proper parts.
