Why make the switch?

The weight savings are phenomenal when you replace the Concorde RG24-11M lead acid battery with this STC! You will instantly reduce the weight of your aircraft by 19.3 pounds- going from a 26.5 pound battery to a 7.2-pound battery! This weight savings can increase your useful load, save fuel costs, increase climb rate, and have shorter take off roll.

You will also increase your Concorde cold cranking amps from 160CCA to 400CCA with the upgrade, more than double the cold cranking power!

Increase in amp hour from 11Ah to 11.7Ah. Due to the flat discharge curve of a lithium battery, this means you have full power with no dimming when using the battery as your backup as your voltage remains constant! 

The life span of an EarthX battery is 2-3X that of a lead acid battery.

EarthX batteries cannot freeze, boil over, lose electrolyte, corrode, or sulfate. Zero caustic acid.

One of the most exciting features, that lead acid battery cannot provide as there is no way to implement a battery management system inside the unit (acid does not play well with others), is  communications directly to the pilot via an LED light, to alert you if something is outside of normal such as state of charge, temperature of the battery itself, to an actual fault condition of the battery itself. There is no guess work of wondering how your battery is doing. This provides useful information not only for the pilot, but also your mechanic, to make the best-informed decisions.

You will have complete confidence in hot and cold starts!

Quality Assurance: Engineered with precision and tested for reliability, ensuring you fly without concern. This is a FAA TSO approved product is the future of aviation batteries.

Cirrus SR22 G7 already come equipped with an EarthX Battery!!

 

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.
