Advantages Of Utilizing EarthX Batteries For Certified Aircraft
EarthX is a trusted provider of lithium batteries, and the batteries themselves provide several benefits for certified aircraft, including enhanced performance during take off, in flight or landing:
- Reduced Weight: Achieve overall weight reduction for improved efficiency.
- Increased Climb Rate: Experience faster and smoother ascent.
- Shorter Takeoff Roll: Enjoy quicker and more responsive takeoffs.
- Reliability in All Conditions: Benefit from worry-free starts in both hot and cold weather.
- No Freezing, No Acid, No Sulphation: Eliminate concerns over freezing, acid leakage, and sulphation.
- Advanced Technology: Utilize a state-of-the-art battery management system that alerts you to any anomalies, allowing for timely mitigation.
- Increase useful load: carry more essentials or passengers.
- Ease of installation: With the STC approval, we provide installation kits with our batteries to make the installation process as straightforward as possible. Whether you’re introducing a lithium battery to your certified aircraft for the first time, or you’re replacing, you can expect a quick and easy installation.
- Lightweight material: EarthX lithium batteries are lightweight, especially when compared to lead acid counterparts. This lighter weight makes the process of installing it easier and improves the overall handling of your aircraft. Increase your payload, decrease your gas needs, it’s a win win product.
- Trustworthiness: Trust and safety are key components for certified aircraft batteries. EarthX Batteries have a built-in Battery Management System (BMS) that monitors performance and protects the battery from overcharging or over discharging and short circuit protection. The BMS is also key to the longevity of the battery — even with heavy use.
- Storage capacity: LiFePo4 batteries can use 100% of their storage capacity, meaning your aircraft can reap the benefits of full power after a charge.
- Fast charging: Lithium batteries charge quickly, allowing you to fully recharge a battery in much less time so you can get to flying in no time. Additionally, these batteries discharge at a much slower rate in storage so the need to recharge is minimized.
- Cranking power: Lithium batteries offer consistent cranking power that will not drop-off. Regardless of the temperatures or environment you start your aircraft in, you can expect high cranking performance when you start up.
Our Commitment To Powering Aviation
At EarthX, innovation is at the core of our mission. We exemplify this commitment in the aviation industry by being the first company in the world to offer a 12V FAA TSO-approved lithium aircraft battery. EarthX also offers a 24V FAA TSO-approved lithium battery for certified aircraft.
Designed specifically for aviation applications, EarthX lithium batteries use Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery chemistry and are engineered to provide the performance, weight savings, reliability, and safety benefits of lithium technology for certified aircraft and general aviation.
With the benefits of these batteries, certified aircraft can significantly improve performance compared with traditional lead-acid aircraft batteries. EarthX lithium aircraft batteries provide a modern alternative to conventional aviation batteries while meeting applicable FAA requirements through our FAA TSO-approved battery models.
Our existing TSO-approved models, including both 12V and 24V FAA TSO-approved lithium aircraft batteries, are only the beginning of our aviation innovations. We have additional TSO-approved batteries in development to expand our LiFePO4 battery applications across more aircraft, aircraft models, and general aviation platforms.
FAA Approved TSO Batteries
EarthX is committed to developing lithium battery technology specifically for certified aircraft. Our FAA TSO-approved aircraft batteries are designed for use in approved aviation applications and provide aircraft owners and manufacturers with a lithium battery option for replacing traditional lead-acid batteries where approved.
TSO approval and STC approval serve different purposes: an FAA TSO approval establishes that a battery meets applicable technical standards, while an FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) provides the approved data and authorization needed to install an approved battery on specific aircraft makes and models.
EarthX continues to expand its aircraft-specific approvals so more certified aircraft can benefit from lithium battery technology.
Aircraft-Specific FAA STC Approvals
EarthX also supports individual aircraft owners who want to install an EarthX lithium battery in a certified aircraft.
For applicable aircraft, EarthX provides an FAA-approved STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) for the installation of the approved EarthX battery. The applicable aircraft battery STC is offered free of charge for the approved airframe, making it easier for aircraft owners and maintenance professionals to identify the approved installation information for their aircraft.
Before installing an EarthX battery in a certified aircraft, always verify that the specific aircraft make, model, battery model, and installation configuration are covered by the applicable STC and installation instructions.
To install an EarthX battery in your aircraft, download the applicable EarthX aircraft battery installation manual and FAA STC for your airframe.
Lithium Batteries For Certified Aircraft
Our commitment to battery development in aviation is clear. Lead-acid batteries have dominated the aviation market for decades with grandfathered-in technology, but lithium iron phosphate batteries challenge the status quo with significant advantages in aircraft battery performance and weight.
EarthX LiFePO4 lithium aircraft batteries are designed specifically for aviation applications and provide a modern alternative to conventional lead-acid aircraft batteries. EarthX batteries are available for approved applications in both 12V and 24V aircraft electrical systems.
For certified aircraft, choosing a lithium battery requires more than simply selecting a battery with the correct voltage. Aircraft owners and maintenance professionals should consider the applicable FAA TSO approved battery model that goes with the STC for their aircraft model.
At EarthX, you can trust our FAA TSO-approved lithium aircraft batteries to perform in accordance with applicable FAA requirements.
Supporting The Future Of General Aviation
In the near future, you can expect to see more EarthX lithium battery technology in the general aviation market. Keep your eye out for new aircraft that come standard with EarthX lithium aircraft batteries straight from the manufacturer. For example, Cirrus SR20/22 G7+ come equipped with an EarthX Battery.
This is our goal, and we intend to stick with it through our continued commitment to aircraft battery development, FAA-approved lithium battery technology, and innovative solutions for aviation.
EarthX is continuing to develop and expand its aviation battery product line to support more certified aircraft, aircraft manufacturers, general aviation applications, and aircraft owners.
