Bulletin No. 836, considered "mandatory" by Piper Aircraft
Corporation, calls for the inspection and replacement of aluminum
battery-to-starter cables at the next scheduled inspection, but
not to exceed 50 hours of operation. The aluminum cables may
generate a lot of heat and have caused melted and blackened cables.
This excessive heat buildup could also result in an electrical
fire. No replacement parts are available from Piper, and |
| Piper has also specified replacement
materials that are not readily available and are very expensive.
The Piper-specified cables and sizes actually reduce the maximum
allowable cranking amperage to the starter. The Bogert ''low-loss"
cable assembly kits replace the cables affected by SB 836. They
are ready to install and are FAA-PMA approved with an STC. The
"low-loss" cables have at least 55% greater capacity
than those specified in SB 836 and 25% greater capacity than
O.E.M. parts. With the Bogert "low-loss" cables your
starter will turn at its rated speed with greatly reduced current
drain from your battery. Please provide year, make, S/N and "N"
number of aircraft when ordering. Custom length cables available
for home-built aircraft. Request quotation. |
