EarthX ETX680C Lithium Aircraft Battery
MFR Model# ETX680C
Overview
|
Note: Not FAA Approved. Intended for use in experimental aircraft only. This lithium starter battery is intended for 400ci engine size or less; 60 amp alternator/generator or less. This battery is used in experimental aircraft or race cars. So, just match up the alternator output with the correct battery. Additionally, a battery management system (BMS) fully protects this lithium starter battery. The BMS protects the cell’s from over discharge, over charge, short circuit, temperature, in addition to 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. (Please see manual for details) The difference between the ETX680 and the ETX680C is simply physical size, with the "C" being for more compact dimensions. |

Why Choose EarthX
- You will instantly remove 11+ pounds compared to the lead acid battery in your experimental aircraft! Now that is a huge weight saving.
- Significant increase in cranking power. If you have been using the PC680, you will increase your CCA’s from 170 to 320 and the PCA’s from 520 to 680! Now that’s the power to crank your engine!
- Now you can easily have a backup battery and not worry about the additional weight. In fact, if you switch from a lead acid battery and add a backup battery, so you have a primary and a backup, you still have decreased your overall weight by 50%! Note that only the ETX680C/680/900/1200 have the aircraft specific BMS.
- Innovative and sophisticated BMS designed and engineered with redundancy for safety, reliability, and performance. These are EXCLUSIVE features!
In The Box
- 1 x ETX680C
- 2 x 6mm screws
- Foam for proper fitment

I use the battery as a portable, no onboard charging. It seems to need charging after a single start cycle. . First couple of charge cycles the battery seemed to topout and/or settle at low voltage. Presently it settles to around 13.55v. I find it cranks far faster than an LA Gill.

Installed a EarthX battery in my Challenger 2 ultralight. What a difference, weight and performance.
Were I was placing the batt. In the plane I got to thinking about safety

Installed in my RV6A.. Works great!! Talk about some cranking power, well worth the money.
The battery fits perfectly and came quickly--havent had a chance yet to actually power something up with it, but that will come.
