Joins Eight Other Part Numbers Recently Authorized
Concorde Battery Corporation aircraft battery part number RG-131
recently earned Technical Standard Order C173 (TSO-C173)
authorization, making Concorde the sole aircraft battery company
with parts TSO-C173 authorized by the FAA.
RG-131 is a Concorde Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) Absorbed
Glass Mat (AGM) Battery for INS, emergency, lighting, standby,
avionics, and FADEC power. Originally developed for the US
Military, the Concorde RG-131 is a valve regulated lead acid
battery that is a high reliability, form, fit and function
replacement, for either the 1/2 (AKA 15 minute) or the full (AKA 30
minute) ARINC size, labor intensive nickel cadmium (INS)
batteries.
The RG-131 joins eight other Concorde Battery part numbers
recently TSO authorized.
Concorde states its RG Series VRLA AGM batteries never
require replenishment of water or electrolyte, offering
maintenance free operation in a non-spillable design while
providing reliable power and long life.
RG-131 protects and extends the life of other avionics.
Concorde's emergency batteries can be charged directly from the DC
bus with no need for a dedicated charger. This results in a high
inrush current which extends battery life with fast recovery time
from discharge. With the battery connected directly on the bus,
transient spikes in the DC power are absorbed. Concorde Emergency
Batteries are self regulating on charge and use only the current
required to maintain them at full charge.
