The True Blue TB44 Advanced Lithium-ion Battery uses 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.
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
Increased useful load between 29 and 32 lbs.
TECHNOLOGY
Capacity: 46 amp-hour battery nominal at 23°C (73.4°F)
Weight: 51.7 lbs. (up to 38% lighter than lead-acid and NiCad alternatives)
Advanced NanoPhosphate® lithium-ion cell chemistry from A123 Systems, LLC – offering 3 times the energy per kilogram, resulting in a battery that is 40% lighter than lead-acid or nickel-cadmium alternatives
Built-in automatic internal heater
Communication: ARINC 429 data to the cockpit
Maintenance: 2-year maintenance interval; offers 50-90% savings on maintenance costs
Warranty: 2-year limited

MT-Propellers
MT-Propellers
4- and 5-blade composite props
MT-Propeller’s fast, lightweight composite propellers reduce weight, vibration, and drag while increasing lift, thrust, and lifetime operation. These 4- and 5-blade propellers maximize the benefits of a Blackhawk engine upgrade.
Reduced Weight – Lighter than aluminum, natural composite propellers reduce weight on the engine crankshaft and overall aircraft weight.
Reduced Vibration – Unlike aluminum, composites do not experience harmonic vibration. Gyros, motor mounts, radios, heat muffs, cowlings, and more enjoy longer life with reduced vibration.
Greater Strength – Composites are stronger than aluminum.
Unlimited Blade Life – Composite propellers are brought back to exact factory-new dimensions during overhaul, avoiding replacement.
Steel Hub Inserts – Steel bearing inserts eliminate the requirement to replace the full hub when tolerances are exceeded.
Quieter – Shorter blades and increased blade count results in a smaller diameter and lower, quieter tip speeds.
More Lift/Thrust – Lower tip speeds maintain smooth airflow, resulting in more lift/thrust.
Less Drag – A smaller prop arc disc creates less drag than larger diameter prop arc discs.
More Ground Clearance – Smaller diameter propeller blades reduce chances for prop damage from ground objects and debris.
Added Resale Value – Upgrade benefits are passed along, increasing resale value.
Easy Installation – The blades bolt on easily and use the existing prop governor.
Full Warranty – 1 year or 1,000 hours (whichever occurs first) for any manufacturing defects.
TECHNOLOGY
Natural composite blades and hubs with stainless steel leading-edge guards
Unlimited blade life through the ability to restore composites to factory specifications during overhaul
Steel hub bearing inserts
Increased blade count and shorter diameter
Utilize existing prop governors
Available in white, black, or grey
