Product Description

RG24-16 is a 24-volt sealed valve-regulated lead-acid aircraft battery that supplies electrical power for onboard systems. It is used in general aviation applications where a compact, maintenance-free power source is required for starting and essential power support.

0 1. Overview

This battery is part of a Platinum Series of low resistance, valve regulated lead acid units that use recombinant gas technology and absorbed glass mat separators. It operates at 24 volts with a rated capacity of 13.6 ampere hours and a maximum weight of 29.5 pounds. The construction incorporates non-removable vent valves, which eliminates the need for adding electrolyte or water. The battery is non-spillable at any altitude or attitude and is shipped fully charged for immediate installation. It is tested before shipment to confirm airworthiness and is approved under FAA TSO-C173a for aircraft battery applications. The design supports use in reciprocating engine starting and in standby or essential power installations, and it is not intended for turbine engine starting. The battery ships under non-hazardous classification for transport.
