Emergency Batteries Never Need Refilling, Self-Regulate
Charges
Concorde Battery Corporation told
ANN this week it recently received approval under Technical
Standard Order C173 by the Federal Aviation Administration for
eight valve regulated sealed lead acid (VRSLA) batteries.
The TSO approved models are Concorde’s RG-121 Series and
RG-122 Series; Emergency Batteries for lighting, standby, avionics,
FADEC and backup power. Parts conforming to TSO C173 are approved
for both design and production.
"Aircraft manufacturers can be assured of airworthiness while
saving time & money with Concorde’s TSO approved
batteries," said John Timmons, Vice President of Engineering.
"These Emergency Batteries can be specified for any aircraft
installation meeting conditions within the TSO C173 standards."
Concorde states both the RG-121 Series and RG-122 Series are
maintenance free, in that they never require replenishment of water
or electrolyte. Available with or without internal heaters, all of
these batteries are self-regulating on charge, taking only the
current required to maintain a full charge. The manufacturer notes
RG Series Emergency Batteries protect & extend the life of
other avionics without a dedicated charger.
Concorde notes it is the first battery manufacturer to apply for
and receive TSO approval. The company is the largest supplier of
OEM lead acid aircraft batteries with over 50 additional batteries
and temperature sensors that have attained Parts Manufacturing
Approval for installation on more than a thousand aircraft
models.
