Company Promises Less Hassle, More Reliability
One could certainly
feel the electricity in the air when Securaplane representatives
showcased their XL244 Series battery at the popular Product
Demonstration session at this year's AEA Convention. Before a crowd
of attendees at the posh Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, company
officials described the various features its emergency battery
offers the aviation community.
Securaplane’s Sealed Lead Acid XL244 series emergency
battery system has been designed as a direct replacement for the
JET Electronics Emergency Battery Series P5-823 and PS-835.
Featuring field-proven sealed lead acid batteries, battery level
test, and built-in precision charging system, company officials
claim the XL244 series is the answer for aircraft operators
demanding battery maintenance reduction.
Sergio Aguirre, Director
of Corporate Aviation Sales chatted with ANN about some of the
features offered by the XL244.
"One of the major items we are most proud is the fact that
operators do not need to remove the battery from the aircraft to
perform a capacity check," Aguirre advised. "The battery test can
be actuated via a cockpit mounted swith or simply by using the
battery's front panel switch." Aguirre stressed this reduces the
need to ship batteries, especially when one considers the various
issues with items considered hazardous by various government
agencies.
Aguirre also told ANN that Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries
provide longer life and better reliability than Ni-Cads in
emergency backup (float) power applications, especially in an
elevated temperature ambient. He also explained that options for
the X1244 series, which offers a battery output of 3.7 amps at 1
hour discharge rate; 4.5 amps at 45 minute discharge rate, 0.85
amps at 5 hour discharge rate, includes a 115 VAC, 400 Hz, 3-phase
inverter or a 115 VAC, 400 Hz, single-phase inverter.
Applications for the XL244 include: Providing backup power for
the IRS/INS/3rd Standby Attitude Reference System, powering
emergency lighting systems and a Bus "hold-up" during engine
start.
