The True Blue Power Advanced Lithium-ion Batteries use the most sophisticated lithium-ion chemistry available, providing aviators with the unmatched advantage of faster starts, increased power, reduced weight, extended useful life, and lower direct operating costs.

UPGRADE BENEFITS

• Higher voltage during engine start leading to less wear, less maintenance, and increased useful life
• Faster engine starts – 7 starts in 7 minutes – and only 15 minutes for a complete recharge when the battery is fully discharged on a typical aircraft.
• Superior high and low temperature performance (-40°C/-40°F to +70°C/158°F)
• Delivers 3x the energy per kilogram when compared to lead-acid and nickel-cadmium cells
• Protection against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit, over-temperature, and under-temperature
• Reduced maintenance costs
• 8-year average useful life
• For single battery applications, increased useful load between 29 and 32 lbs.
• For dual battery applications, weight savings of up to 120 lbs.
