Product Description
Guard Your Investment: Superior Thermal Protection for EarthX Batteries
When installing a high-performance EarthX ETX680C lithium battery in demanding environments—like a tightly packed racecar engine bay or the compartment of an experimental aircraft—heat is the greatest threat to longevity and performance. The EarthX BB-TH-CO Thermal Heat Shield Battery Box is not just an enclosure; it is a critical piece of insurance designed to maintain peak battery health where it matters most.
Lithium batteries, particularly the ETX-Hundred series, are rated for optimal performance below 140°F (60°C). Typical lead-acid batteries fail at even lower temperatures (113°F or 45°C). The BB-TH-CO box actively mitigates this risk, providing a robust thermal buffer against the two primary sources of heat damage: radiation and convection.
Engineered for Extreme Thermal Resistance
This thermal battery box employs a dual-defense strategy to keep your cells cool:
- Radiant Heat Shielding: The exterior is constructed from mirrored stainless steel. This polished surface minimizes the effect of direct radiant heat, such as that generated by a nearby exhaust pipe, reflecting it away from the enclosure.
- Convection Heat Shielding: An advanced, high-performance insulating foam layer is placed between the metal box and the battery. This material dramatically slows the transfer of ambient convection heat from the hot engine compartment environment.
Laboratory testing confirms the power of this design. In extreme 185°F (85°C) conditions simulating a 1,000°F exhaust source, the BB-TH-CO provided up to a 4X improvement in the time it took for the battery cells to reach their high operating limit. In less extreme heat environments, this benefit can be even greater, ensuring continuous, reliable power.
Race-Ready Durability and Lightweight Design
Performance applications demand uncompromising strength. The BB-TH-CO box is structurally engineered to be exceptionally strong, built to withstand sustained forces of up to 0 G. Despite its rugged durability and advanced insulation, it maintains the EarthX philosophy of lightweight design, adding only 0.375 Kg (~13.2 oz) to your overall setup.
What's Included:
- 1 x BB-TH-CO Thermal Battery Box
- 1 x Top Front Removeable Hold Down Tab
- 2 x Screws for Hold Down
Don't compromise the longevity of your high-performance EarthX battery. Choose the BB-TH-CO Thermal Battery Box for maximum protection and sustained performance in every flight and every race.
