[FC] battery

[Vairtec Corp]

I''m a "stock" kinda guy but I use the group 51R battery in my two FCs 
and and happy both with their fit (I can use the stock hold-downs) and 
performance (they outlast the "correct" group 53 battery).

It is shorter and a tiny bit wider than a 53, when loading it into the battery box leave the terminal caps on to avoid shorting out the posts.
