Product Description
Extend the life and maintain the peak performance of your EarthX lithium battery in high-heat experimental aircraft environments.
Unmatched Thermal Protection for Your EarthX Lithium Battery
The EarthX BB-TH-U Thermal Battery Box is a critical component for aviators seeking to protect their "U" case series batteries from the damaging effects of engine-radiated and convection heat. Designed specifically for the high-performance demands of experimental aircraft, this box ensures your battery operates within its optimal temperature range for maximum longevity and reliability.
Advanced Heat Shielding Technology
This thermal box combines two distinct technologies to provide superior protection:
- Radiant Heat Defense: The exterior is constructed from mirrored stainless steel. This highly reflective surface actively minimizes the effect of radiant heat, such as from nearby exhaust pipes, preventing that energy from ever reaching the battery.
- Convection Heat Defense: A high-performance insulating foam layer is strategically placed between the stainless steel box and the battery casing. This foam drastically reduces the transfer of convection heat (hot air), slowing the temperature rise within the unit.
Proven Performance for Aviation Applications
Testing has shown that the BB-TH-U box delivers significant improvements in heat protection:
- In extreme test environments, the box demonstrated a 5.3X improvement in the time required for the battery to heat up from convection sources alone.
- When subjected to combined radiant and convection heat (simulating a 1000°F exhaust pipe), the system showed a 3.5X to 4X improvement in the time it took for the internal cells to reach their maximum recommended operating temperature (140°F / 60°C).
This protection is vital, as EarthX ETX-Hundred series batteries are rated for optimal longevity and performance at or below 140°F (60°C)—a necessity for maintaining peak operational efficiency.
