- Made in the USA. Why it matters:
- Superior craftmanship; rigorously tested; high-quality parts.
- Due to shipping regulations regarding shipping lithium batteries, the EarthX batteries have a hazmat fee when not shipped ground (We include this in the calculated shipping cost).
- Designed for turbine engines up to 900hp or piston engines up to 550ci .
- 15.6 Ah of reserve power with an amazing 840 pulse cranking amps!
- LED battery fault light indicator.
- The indicator can be plugged into your control panel.
- Battery Management System (BMS) redundancy accurately monitors cell voltage, state of charge, and resistance.
- Made in the USA with imported cells
Product Description
One of the most trusted brands in experimental aircraft. Designed for turbine engines up to 900hp or piston engines up to 550ci.
EarthX's ETX battery series is fully protected by an integrated battery management system (BMS) that protects the cell's from over discharge, over charge, short circuit, temperature, plus cell balancing to ensure charge levels are equal. Additionally, the ETX Hundred series aircraft batteries have redundant electronic circuits and battery fault indication. The fault indicator can be connected into your EFIS or wired to a 24 volt LED light on your control panel to alert you to the state of charge and state of health of the battery.
Fault Conditions
This table shows the most common fault conditions and possible causes.
| LED Light | Voltage | Possible Cause | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slow Flashing (5s on / 5s off) | Less than 12.8V | Battery over-discharged (due to faulty charging system) | Charge battery. Once charged, the light will stop flashing. |
| Slow Flashing (5s on / 5s off) | Less than 13.2V | Weak or failing cell | Charge battery. If voltage drops below 13.2V within a few days, discontinue use. |
| Slow Flashing (5s on / 5s off) (>1 hour time period) | 13.2V - 14.6V | Weak or failing cell | Discontinue use. If in flight, this is not an immediate issue unless it is in conjunction with a charging system failure. |
| Slow Flashing (5s on / 5s off) | Greater than 15.2V | Over-charging (due to faulty charging system) | If in flight, shutoff charging system immediately. Aircraft over-voltage protection is required if alternator charging system is greater than 20 amps (i.e. over voltage crowbar circuit) |
| Slow Flashing (5s on / 5s off) | 13.2V - 14.6V | Cell to cell charge levels are not balanced | May come on briefly during periods of high current charging until the cells are automatically balanced. Try charging with a plugin charger, like an Optimate Lithium charger. |
| Solid Light | Any voltage | BMS electronic issue | Discontinue use. If in flight, this is not an immediate issue unless it is in conjunction with a charging system failure. |
| Solid Light that turns off after 3 minutes | Any voltage | Short Circuit protection was activated | Nothing neds to be done. |
| Short Flashing (2s on / 2s off) | Any voltage | High battery temperature (> 65°C / 150°F) | Let battery cool down prior to cranking or charging. |
