Product Description

RG-624 is a 24‑volt, 24 ampere‑hour sealed valve‑regulated lead‑acid AGM aircraft battery from the Platinum Series, used to supply electrical power and starting capability for approved turbine and piston aircraft installations.

0 1. Overview

This battery uses a recombinant gas, valve regulated lead acid absorbed glass mat construction that presents a low impedance design. It is certified for use in turbine and piston engine aircraft models and serves as a certified nickel cadmium battery replacement in many installations. The unit is TSO approved and factory tested prior to release. RG-624 provides improved starting performance, with documentation citing an 85 percent improvement in starting power in specific MD Helicopters models including the 369D, 369E, 369FF, 500N, and 600N. It is specified with a nominal capacity of 24 ampere hours and a weight of 52 pounds, with an overall shipped weight of about 60 pounds including packaging. The construction uses a powder coated aluminum container with side vent tubes and non‑removable vent valves. The design is maintenance free, does not require the addition of water or electrolyte, and is described as non‑spillable at any altitude or attitude. It is shipped fully charged and is treated as HAZMAT exempt for shipment.
