Why make the switch?

  1. The weight savings is phenomenal; if you’re replacing the RG24-11, you go from a 26.5-pound battery to a 7.2-pound battery, that is 19.3 pounds of instant weight reduction. This weight savings can increase your useful load, save fuel costs, increase climb rate, and have shorter take off roll.
  2. The capacity of the lead acid battery was 11Ah, the EarthX is 11.7Ah, a slight increase.
  3. The cold cranking of the lead acid battery was 160, the EarthX is 400, more than double the cranking.
  4. The life span of an EarthX battery is rated to be twice that of a lead acid battery.
  5. The EarthX cannot freeze, boil over, lose electrolyte, corrode, or sulfate. Zero caustic acid.
  6. On average, this battery is only $100 more than the lead acid battery it is replacing.
  7. One of the most exciting features is the EarthX battery as a battery management system (BMS). A lead acid battery cannot provide this level or information to the pilot as there is no way to implement a battery management system inside the unit (acid does not play well with others). This battery can communicate directly to the pilot if there is anything outside of normal with a flashing or solid LED light to alert you to investigate. This provides useful information not only for the pilot, but also your mechanic, to make the best-informed decisions.

 

FAQs

Q: Do I need to change anything to my alternator/regulator in my plane?

A: NO, our battery has the same charging profile as a lead acid battery.

Q: Is it a problem if my Amp Hour is less than it used to be with a lead acid battery?

A: NO. Lead acid batteries need more amps to achieve cranking power vs. our battery needs less amp hours to achieve the necessary cranking power while still adhering to safety requirements.

Q: Do I need to perform a new weight and balance?

A: YES, the FAA requires that any STC requires weight and balance.

Q: Do you charge for STC paperwork?

A: NO.

Q: What is my initial investment for this switch?

A: $1,194 includes the battery and installation kit.
