Gen5 Advanced Lithium-ion Battery
TB20, TB30, TB40, TB60
TB20, TB30, TB40, TB60
Gen5 lithium-ion aircraft batteries address
the challenges of lead-acid and NiCad battery
technology. The TB20, TB30, TB40 and TB60 offer
on-condition maintenance, eliminating expensive
battery maintenance, frequent capacity checks and
low-voltage operational delays. These intelligent
battery systems deliver more accurate and more
reliable state-of-health and state-of-charge data than
any other battery on the market today.
