Note: Not FAA Approved. Intended for use in experimental aircraft only. The ETX900 is lightweight and crazy powerful! This battery is intended for 540ci engine size or less; 80 amp alternator/generator or less. The ETX battery series is fully protected by an integrated battery management system (BMS) that protects the cell’s from over discharge, overcharge, short circuit, temperature, plus cell balancing to ensure charge levels are equal. Additionally, our 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.

Love it worth the money
EarthX EtX900 Aircraft Lithium Battery
Battery is light weight. However the terminal connectors layout are flawed. They are located on the centerline of the battery, with the terminal bolts flush with the case top. Makes a strong back clamp down arrangement a challenge. Concord and PC680 battery connections are located off center line.

Incredible so far worth every pennny!
EarthX EtX900 Aircraft Lithium Battery
Awesome battery. Great cranking power.
EarthX EtX900 Aircraft Lithium Battery
Much lighter vs PC680 cranks better and less voltage drop. A pure aircraft battery!
EarthX EtX900 Aircraft Lithium Battery
This is a great battery. My last one was 6+ years old and still going strong. I replaced it because the manufacturer states that it will last up to 6 years,
EarthX EtX900 Aircraft Lithium Battery
I guess I waited long enough to see if its any good. My wife bought this battery over 7 years ago and installed it in her RV-7 with an ECI 370 CI engine. It is still going strong with no drop in typical voltage. It easily cranks the high compression 370 even when hot and flooded. I normally dont give 5-star reviews, but I cant help it here. When she bought it, I thought it was too expensive, but now I know it was well worth the money.
Received intact, undamaged.
EarthX EtX900 Aircraft Lithium Battery
Excellent battery replacement for the Odyssey in my RV-9. I got 6 years out of the first one,and only replaced it because an over voltage event damaged it. The only issue I had with the replacement is that EarthX relocated the status wire, requiring me to modify my hold down bracket.

Very lightweight battery. Cranks my IO 540 easily.
