Reduce your aircraft battery weight by up to 45% with the TB17 Advanced Lithium-ion Aircraft Battery from True Blue Power. This battery (6430017-2) features a built-in heater, with an ON/OFF feature, ensuring your aircraft outperforms all others in extreme temperatures, from -40°C to 70°C. The TB17 is TSO certified, and you’ll save time and money with a 2-year maintenance interval. Start Lighter True Blue Power batteries are the lightest and most compact, saving you up to 85 pounds per battery. Our efficient design gives you more power per pound than any other aircraft battery. Less weight means more passengers, more cargo, more fuel, and more design flexibility. Start Faster True Blue Power batteries give you cooler and faster engine starts, capable of 7 starts in 7 minutes. Turboprop engines, like the Pratt & Whitney PT6A, start in half the time and, typically, 100° cooler. Our sophisticated design allows your battery to fully recharge within 30 minutes and constant voltage helps eliminate hot starts. An automatic, built-in heater ensures your aircraft outperforms all others in extreme temperatures, from -40°C to 70°C. Start Smarter True Blue Power batteries feature charge current limiting, overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit, over-temperature and under-temperature protection. Even smarter, you’ll save time and money with the longest-lasting aircraft batteries on the market. True Blue Power batteries last 8 years. That’s up to 4x longer than lead acid and NiCad. Benefits 17 amp-hour battery nominal at 23°C/73.4°F Weighs 16 lbs. — 45% lighter than lead-acid or nickel-cadmium alternatives Advanced NanoPhosphate® lithium-ion cell chemistry — 3x the energy per kilogram when compared to lead-acid and nickel-cadmium cells 7 engine starts in 7 minutes 30 minutes (at 34 amps) for complete recharge when the battery is fully discharged Superior performance at extreme temperatures (-40°C/-40°F to 70°C/158°F) Overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit, over-temperature, under-temperature and charge current limiting protection Communicates battery status to the cockpit Higher voltage during engine start — Less wear, less maintenance and increased useful life Heater on/off feature 2-year maintenance interval — 50 – 90% savings on maintenance costs 8 years (average) useful life Designed and built in Wichita, Kansas, USA FAA TSO Certified Two-year limited warranty Specifications Capacity 17 amp-hour nominal at 23°C/73.4°F Charge Voltage 28 VDC nominal Output Voltage 26.4 VDC nominal Output Current 500 A continuous, 840 A max Technology Advanced NanoPhosphate® lithium-ion cell chemistry Protection Overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit, over-temperature, under-temperature and charge current limiting Energy Density 64.4 Wh/kg 87.1 Wh/liter Operating Temperature 40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F) Weight 16 lbs Dimensions 7.2” L x 7.4” W x 6.0” H Configuration 7P8S; 7 parallel cells x 8 series modules Maintenance 2-year maintenance interval; offers 50 – 90% savings on maintenance costs Battery Life Expectancy 8 years (average) Case Anodized aluminum, blue Certification FAA TSO-C179b (Class A-4B) RTCA DO-311A RTCA DO-160G UNDOT/IATA
