- 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).
- Intended for 550ci engines or more. 120 amp alternator or less.
- 20 Ah of reserve power with an amazing 1200 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.
- The ETX1200 meets the requirements from Rotax engines as an approved lithium battery for use.
- Made in the USA with imported cells
- Gen 2 Improvements:
- Ceramic cell construction improves safety and reliability.
- 20% longer shelf life, lower cell discharge rate
- Enchanced short circuit protection.
- Improved recharging.
- 60% improved overvoltage protection.
Product Description
This battery is intended for 550ci engine size or more; 120 amp alternator/generator or less. Can be used in experimental aircraft just match up the alternator output with the correct battery.
This battery 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 12volt LED light on your control panel to alert you to the state of charge and state of health of the battery. (Please see manual for details)
What's included:
- (1) ETX1200 Battery
- (2) 6mm screws
- Foam for proper fitment
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. |

Customer Reviews
Saved over 35pds in a car that only weighs 2,400. Front end feels lighter, purchased the lightweight battery hold from Goodwin racing. Very happy.
Purchased this after to go in experimental aircraft. It starts better than it ever has in 10 years of flying. Highly recommend it.
