True Blue Power Announces Advanced Lithium-Ion Batteries for Business and General Aviation
Pilots start your engines!
True Blue Power® is harnessing the power of Nanophosphate® lithium-ion cell technology to deliver a new generation of advanced lithium-ion batteries to aviation.
The TB17 and TB44 Advanced Lithium-ion Batteries utilize the most sophisticated lithium-ion chemistry available, providing aviators with an unmatched advantage of power, safety, life and energy.
Featuring superior energy density, with cell chemistry that offers 3x the energy per kilogram when compared to lead-acid or nickel-cadmium alternatives, these next-generation battery systems are engineered to provide an overall lower cost of ownership with 50 – 75% less scheduled maintenance cost. This is the result of 2-year maintenance intervals, efficient engine starts and gaining 2 – 3x longer useful battery life.
The TB17 (17 amp hour) Advanced Lithium-ion Battery weighs 16 pounds, offering a 45% weight savings compared to older, lead-acid and nickel-cadmium alternatives. It is designed primarily for piston and turbine aircraft.
The TB44 (44 amp hour) Advanced Lithium-ion Battery weighs 53 pounds, offering a 40% weight savings. It is ideal for the turbine market, including fixed-wing and rotorcraft applications.
The TB44 and TB17 Advanced Lithium-ion Batteries will be on display at the True Blue Power booth #C10040 October 22–24 at the NBAA2013 Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada.
True Blue Power® specializes in the custom design and manufacturing of advanced lithium-ion batteries, emergency power supplies, battery modules, DC-to-AC static inverters and USB charging ports.
Select products feature Nanophosphate® lithium-ion technology, which offers stable chemistry, faster charging, consistent output, excellent cycle life and superior cost performance — this translates into smaller, lighter products that are less than half the size and weight of existing solutions.
True Blue Power products combine revolutionary technology with superior quality, ingenuity and decades of experience. For more information, visit www.truebluepowerusa.com.
Meet SAM® — The 2-inch Standby Attitude Module from Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics
The MD302 Standby Attitude Module — SAM® — is the industry’s newest generation of 2-inch standby instruments. SAM provides attitude, altitude, airspeed and slip information to the pilot during normal operation or in the case of primary instrument failure.
SAM delivers an easy-to-fit, compact design with selectable orientation (horizontal and vertical) like no other, ensuring a perfect fit within any panel. The unique two-screen display features high-definition graphics and extra-wide viewing angles.
Entirely self-contained, SAM weighs just 1.6 pounds and fits in less panel space than a standard set of 2-inch mechanical attitude, altitude and airspeed indicators.
SAM will be on display at the Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics booth #C10040 October 22–24 at the NBAA2013 Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada.
