Product Description

This is a 24-volt sealed lead-acid aircraft battery engineered to supply dependable power for turbine starting and other aircraft electrical loads in turbine and piston engine models. It serves as a maintenance-free source of onboard DC power where a valve-regulated lead-acid AGM design is required for reliable performance in aviation applications.

0 1. Overview

The RG-380E-44 battery is part of an absorbed glass mat valve regulated lead-acid design used for engine starting, emergency or essential power, and standby power in aircraft systems. It belongs to an RG Series that holds authorization under TSO-C-173 and is certified for use as a direct replacement battery on many aircraft types, including as a nickel cadmium battery replacement in various installations. The unit is built in a polypropylene container equipped with side vent tubes and a powder coated aluminum cover secured with a stainless hold down bar. It incorporates non-removable vent valves and a non-spillable configuration that maintains containment at any aircraft altitude or attitude. The construction supports low impedance characteristics and high engine cranking output while remaining maintenance free, with no water or electrolyte addition required and shipment in a fully charged state. RG-380E-44 is identified as originating in the United States and is classified under ECCN 9A991.d with Schedule B designation 8507.20.0090, and is supplied as a single battery per pack.
