- Note: See the Model 2835A manual for details on aircraft compatibility and start assist (piston engines only).
- IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER & OPERATING LIMITATIONS: Audio Authority® authorizes this device for use ONLY by aviation professionals, such as licensed pilots and maintenance technicians, knowledgeable about their aircraft electrical system and batteries. Aircraft electrical systems vary widely. Many aircraft electrical systems have been altered in the field from the original OEM configuration and these changes are often poorly documented in the aircraft records. The operational concepts, recommendations, and instructions presented here are necessarily general and make assumptions that do not apply to every aircraft, and may not be correct for your particular aircraft. Incorrect use of this device has the potential to damage the GPU and/or aircraft components. It is the operator’s responsibility to read completely and fully understand the manual, plus those sections of the Aircraft Flight Manual and Maintenance Manual that pertain to their aircraft’s electrical system design, to determine the appropriate use of this, or any, external power source. If you cannot do this, do not use this product. Instead, consult the airframe manufacturer or a technician familiar with your specific aircraft type and configuration before connecting a GPU to your aircraft.
Mfg Q&A
- Does this unit have both 12v and 24v output? No, this is 28-volt DC output only (for aircraft with 24V battery).
- Can I use it like a starter device for my C172? No, this unit is intended for airframe and avionics power only, not for engine starts. The 70A version may be used for start assist, piston engines only.
- Q1. What is the length of AC cable? 2 meters
- Q2. The cable is free or option item? AC input and DC output cables are included.
- Q3. Could you give us the 28VDC output connector specification? The output cable plug is 3-pin AN2551 (Aircraft Spruce P/N 11-03158)

Reviews
Very well made, quality product. Perfect for my 28V Bonanza.
Took a while to get since it was backordered but really works well on my Citation. I am on a little airport with no power carts and this saves my battery for engine starts big time
Q&A
No, this is only 28v output.
The GPU itself may be used with almost any voltage, but the internal BatteryMINDer is only compatible with a 100-127V AC power source. In countries with other voltage standards, a compatible BatteryMINDer must be purchased and used separately.
No, this unit is intended for powering up avionics units without the engine running.
The AC cable would be 6-1/2 ft. long. This cable would come with the purchase. The 28VDC specs are 28 +/- 0.5 Volts DC, 35 Amps continuous.
This unit has Universal input: 100-240 VAC 50-60Hz 9.5A.
The 2870A GPU is compatible with all piston and turbine aircraft with 28 VDC electrical systems (24 volt batteries) that initially draw less than 70 amperes without optional equipment turned ON. This includes most piston aircraft and a large number of turboprops and small jets.
