Becomes The Latest Citation Model To Be Approved For RG Series

The FAA has issued Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST04366AT to install Concorde’s RG-380E/60L or RG-380E/53L AGM sealed lead acid batteries in Cessna 680 aircraft. The Sovereign has now joined the list of Citation aircraft certified to fly with Concorde’s robust RG Series batteries.

 
ST04366AT allows for two RG-380E/60L (48 Ah) or two RG-38E/53L (53 Ah) AGM sealed lead acid batteries to replace the original equipment nickel-cadmium batteries resulting in 20-40% more battery capacity per aircraft without airframe modification. A temperature sensor kit, part number 5-0121, is included with the STC for each battery.
 
Concorde has a proven history of success in Citation aircraft. RG Platinum Series batteries perform as well or better than nickel-cadmium batteries and are maintenance free requiring no water replenishment, deep cycling or replacement parts and cells. Upgrading to Concorde batteries reduces down time and provides a more economical option through lower acquisition cost and reduced maintenance.
