Covers Several Models Of Sealed Lead Acid Batteries

The FAA has issued Technical Standard Order, TSO-C173a, Authorization to Concorde Battery Corporation for the RG24-15, RG24-15M, and RG24-16 13.6 Ah family of sealed lead acid batteries. TSO-C173a authorization confirms that the batteries meet the Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) set forth by the FAA and Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) in DO-293A.

To obtain authorization, the batteries undergo rigorous testing ensuring optimal performance on a fixed wing aircraft or rotorcraft in the most extreme on-board environments.  Historically FAA-PMA certified for specific installations in hundreds of aircraft models, this approval guarantees the batteries meet MOPS minimizing the burdensome testing involved with incorporating the batteries into new type designs, STCs or individual type certified aircraft by way of field approval.
 
Concorde's Platinum Series Batteries are designed and manufactured with advanced lead acid technology. They are the preferred choice of airframe manufacturers and end users’ with a history of dependable starting performance in temperatures ranging from -40° to 70°C, longer battery life, and extra reserve capacity in the case of a generator failure.
