Lithium Nanophosophate Technology Much Lighter Than
Competitors
Mid-Continent Instruments introduces the industry's first
emergency power supply featuring Lithium Nanophosphate technology.
The MD800 Series automatically provides power for standby equipment
during aircraft power loss or interruption. The MD835 may be used
as a direct replacement for older Goodrich PS-835 units.
"We are excited about this new product because of its numerous
benefits," said Tom Genovese, Director of Sales. "Lower weight,
lower cost, extended maintenance intervals, and the use of Lithium
supports our green initiatives. We truly get the lead out with this
product."
MCI tells Aero-News the MD800 Series utilizes cutting-edge
technology to offer distinct advantages over standard lead acid
designs. Most significantly, it weighs only 4.5 pounds -- 8 pounds
less than the competition. In addition to weighing less, it charges
faster, costs less and is easier to maintain.
Retrofit should be convenient and affordable, Mid-Continent
says, because the 4.6 amp-hour battery system uses the same mating
connector and mounts in a standard 1/4 ATR rack.
New Lithium technology improves useful life, which provides the
MD800 Series with a less demanding maintenance schedule and lowers
overall ownership costs. The MD800 Series requires a bi-annual
capacity check as opposed to the traditional 12-month requirement
of existing models. The 10-year life expectancy is more than three
times that of the nearest competition.
