Product Description

This unit is a 24-volt valve regulated lead acid aircraft battery configured for turbine engine starting and related aircraft power needs. It supplies high cranking output for turbine applications in a sealed absorbed glass mat format intended for installation in helicopters and turbine aircraft.

0 1. Overview

The RG-325 battery uses absorbed glass mat construction in a recombinant gas valve regulated lead acid design. It is housed in a polypropylene container with a lifting rope integrated into the molded polypropylene cover. Electrical connection is provided through M8 silicon bronze alloy terminals that support corrosion-free contact and high conductivity.

The battery carries a rated C1 capacity of 25 ampere hours at the 1-hour rate and a nominal voltage of 24 volts. IPP/IPR performance ratings are specified instead of cold cranking amps, with IPP of 1000 amps and IPR of 650 amps at 74 °F, IPP of 750 amps and IPR of 600 amps at 0 °F, and IPP of 550 amps and IPR of 450 amps at −22 °F. The unit weight is 52 pounds (23.6 kg. It is identified under export control classification number 9A991.d and Schedule B code 8507.20.0090.

The design supports engine starting, emergency or essential power, and standby power duties. Construction incorporates non-removable vent valves and an AGM structure that holds the electrolyte immobile. The battery is maintenance free in service with no water addition required, is non-spillable in aerobatic attitudes and at any altitude, and is supplied fully charged for installation. It is tested at the factory for airworthiness and is shipped as hazmat exempt by land, sea, and air.
