AvTek uses rechargeable, dependable, deep discharge batteries as the power source in its Standby Electrical System. They are sealed and maintenance free. Nothing can get out and there is nothing to add. They can’t leak, because the acid is absorbed in the “Substrate” were gases are re-combined. These are very safe batteries in aventilated enclosure box. These are deep-discharge batteries, not like your ‘WET-Acid’ cold-cranking car battery,and unlike Nicads, there will never be a memory problem with lead acid. All the potential stored energy will be available to your dead panel. Power is delivered through the cigarette lighter. No power wil be discharged through the cigarette lighter greater than what it takes to heat up the lighter element in the first place. AvTek’s design is much more than a battery in a black box. AvTek uses a circuit board to control the power to the buss.
This Smart board monitors the amperage demand at an efficient, reliable rate to insure a safe IFR descent. Anun controlled portable battery connected to the cigarette lighter could smoke the panel, as with any home made project built without a controlling (PCB) Printed Circuit Board. AvTek’s batteries are powerful. Clearly capable of delivering over 200 amps through the Cig plug, enough to start the engine if NOT controlled. PCB gives you protection while delivering reliable, dependable source of powerfor 60 mins. or longer to your IFR panel.14V system |
