Note: Not FAA Approved. Intended for use in experimental aircraft only. ETX900-24 is a replacement battery for a 24-28V battery with 840 cranking amps and only weighs 8.9 pounds! Now that’s weight saving technology! With an EarthX lithium battery, you will gain a significant amount of cranking amps and drop a minimum of 11+ pounds instantly by switching from a lead acid battery. Please view the Aircraft Application Flowchart under the documents tab for assistance in selecting the correct EarthX battery for your application.
The 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, 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 24volt LED light on your control panel to alert you to the state of charge and state of health of the battery.
