BATTERYMINDER AIRFRAME INTERFACE KIT FOR FAA-CERTIFIED AIRCRAFT

It costs as much for tools and supplies as to buy It does not fit in door on Cessna. That should be added in description Requires A&P sign off and u wanted it to be a simple put in hangar open door and hook up charger. Which is actually made by a different company So to hook it up I have about $380 to charge my concord battery Wondering if I should have just bought a new battery The company who makes the kit was very nice but on a Cessna it won’t fit So may have to acquit if it won’t fit I’m not going to pull off the cowling each time And the plane sits more than it flies They could at a minimum for this price put a little solder in the kit Call them on orientation of the terminals as pic in manual though colorful is not clear They will call u back if u leave a message so good in this aspect Looking for another install option.

Works perfect. Keep in mind that you will need to solder the connections that feed into the connector. Other than that it was easy to install and has been working great.

The kit looks complete. It should make it easier for my mechanic when I ask them to install an external connection for my Batteryminder. The Batteryminder manual, however, is a little unclear about whether or not they are still recommending charging a battery while it is still in the plane. You mind want to see if you can read the Batteryminder manual first.

This kit worked great, was easy to install and now I have the peace of mind that my batteries will stay charged. I installed one on my Navajo and a second on my C-150. I wish I’d bought these years ago.

Worked as described. Mechanic installed quickly with no issues.

It is what you need to have to connect the batteryminder properly.

Works great on Mooney Acclaim

Ive installed this kit on every plane Ive owned. Its a great kit and great quality components. Coupled with a great quality battery tender, your battery life will be doubled!

This kit has been upgraded with new instructions that address the difficulty that some reviewers have had with correctly assembling the fuse holder and the SB50 connector. Also, the adapter harness is now made with a molded handle that makes its much easier to use and provides strain relief for the wires.

I really liked this kit and have installed it for two customers who are happy with it. Installation wise I thought the instructions were very clear.

Andrew is correct, in that the BM-AIK2 Airframe Interface Kit is NOT designed for the high end Model 28252-AA BatteryMINDer. It IS designed for every other aviation-specific BatteryMINDer. The unique aspect of the BM-AIK2 kit is that it provides aircraft quality parts from which a licensed mechanic can fabricate a safe quick-connect battery harness for most all BatteryMINDer maintenance chargers. It was developed in consultation with the FAA and is eligible for installation as a minor alteration, returned to service with the mechanics log book entry. No STC, field approval, or form 337 to file.

A bit pricey but good quality components and instructions. The main plug has two holes that will accept 6-32 screws going all the way through which makes mounting options easier. I used 1/4 standoffs to allow room for the cover attachment.

I guess this product is designed for several different aircraft and therefore highly configurable. However, I was frustrated that I needed a solder torch and RTV to fabricate the charger plug. This adds cost, complexity and some risk to install.

Its a nice little kit and well thought out. Nice connectors. I think its a bit overpriced though. I see a few issues.. The wire loom they provide isnt as long as the wires provided. This means install length is automatically shortened. -The lanyard loop on the rubber connector cover isnt usable if you flush mount the connector and you have to find another way to utilize it. -They provide 12/10ga solder connectors but its only 16ga wire... thats a lot of solder required. then you are to fill the connector body around the wires with silicone but its not provided. for the price you pay, they should include a small tube of silicone. - No mounting hardware included (6-32 screws) Otherwise, its a nice kit and makes like easier since i have to remove my front seat to access the battery in my PA22

I recently installed this on a customer’s airplane. It’s actually better than I expected but could stand improvement. The two ring terminals are silly. It would be a total coincidence if they actually fit your application properly. Plan ahead and purchase the proper sizes. The wiring is ok but would prefer higher quality. They don’t show the splice in the video or the pics. You will have to splice the wire to the fuse holder wire. No big deal, just something that may not be apparent if you haven’t installed one of these before. They did a nice job of researching and documenting the sign off.

This system requires some fabrication to fit your plane. I installed mine in a 182P just behind the baggage close out. I had to make a bracket and adjust it to fit flush so the cover would work and cut a hole In the plastic with a Dremel tool. Turned out very nice. I would recommend this solution.

Yes, connectors having to be soldered somewhat inconvenient but to the guy with the bonanza(Don), next time just hit em with your purse. Ive installed 2 kits and customers love them.

This item does not fit in the ground power port of a Cessna 172N or similar. There is not enough room to accommodate the connector. Alternative is to route it through the firewall to the inside of the cabin, but then the door/window needs to be open to connect the batteryminder.

Very expensive for some wire and fuse

So why is this interface kit approved without reference to the battery being located within a confined area, but the Battery Minder does not recommend the Battery Minder RTA-2415 to be used where the battery is not removed from the aircraft? Note: BatteryMINDer® no longer advises the use of the RTA 2415 on flooded batteries while flooded battery is located within a confined area, such as in an aircraft engine compartment. Battery should be removed or open to free flowing air to avoid possible build-up of harmful hydrogen gas should battery have a shorted cell(s) or charging source is incorrect or malfunctions.

The provided connectors for this kit are overkill for the 4 amp charge rate of the battery minder and are obviously not a good fit for this application. The engagement / disengagement force is excessive and requires mounting the connector in such a substantial fashion that opportunities to do so will be limited.

terrible

Great idea ... poor execution. Fuse holder was defective. Main connectors would connect intermittently... Battery Minder could not sense it was connected to a battery. After a few months several attempts to make it work ... we removed it entirely.

This kit would have taken several hours to fabricate and install on my Bonanza, including having to torch solder the pins for the connector, which looks like a 240v dryer plug. Its not small. May work better on other models, but my A&P and I gave up trying to figure out a NEAT installation. Were going to look at other solutions.

This kit comes with two SB-50 connectors, one of which you install in the aircraft and the other that you can use to adapt a charger with a trailer connector to the SB-50 connector. My charger already has the SB-50 connector, but the red SB-50 connector in this kit does not fit the gray SB-50 on my BATTERYMINDER 28252-AA 28V 25A AVIATION POWER SUPPLY / CHARGER / MAINTAINER / DESULFATOR. Be very careful if you plan to use this with a charger that has an SB-50 connector.
