Aviation Calibrated BatteryMINDer, Model 244CEC1-AA-S5 24V 4-AMP Aircraft Battery Maintenance Charger-Desulfator
Note: Three Important Keys To Know
2. Benefits for max battery life and restored capacity, requires continuous full-time maintenance charging. 3. For safety and convenience, a quick connection wiring harness to the battery must be installed.
For FAA certified aircraft: Model (11-10835) BM-AIK2 installed as minor alteration and return to service with log entry. ![]() By Bill Woods, VP of VDC Electronics Problem:

Works great. Easy to set up.

This thing is amazing! I bought the 24V model specifically for my Concorde battery in our Bonanza and even though the battery was only about a year and a half old, the battery minder only needed about a week of desulfating and the battery has noticeably more resting voltage and noticeably more voltage while under a load and without the alternator running. A very good investment, especially if you have an engine with a starter adapter mounted, as the higher voltage for the starter motor makes a huge difference for start-up. I highly recommend buying one of these if you are a private owner and live in Canada!

My DA40 prop is off for an overhaul so I took the battery out and put it on this. The instructions seemed a little complicated, but basically you attach to the battery terminals with the included alligator clips and then plug it in. The charger takes care of the rest. I’ll leave the battery connected for the duration of the overhaul and hope to have a better battery when it goes back in the plane. I also bought the airframe interface kit and will get that attached soon - although the Batteryminder manual is a little unclear about whether or not they still recommend charging a battery still in a plane.

This is an awesome product, you have to have it. Cruise Air at Ramona put in the plane hook up.

Excellent service with excellent product
Easy to use, best recommendation to keep the battery up and running at all times.
great product I will use it a lot
Works exactly as advertised, great product
My experience with the battery minder has been 60-80% increase in battery life in my Bonanza.
Easy to understand instructions. Easy to use. Seems to work great.

Per the manufacturer: Our new models feature advancements in easy to understand battery analysis and condition not previously available on any other model. We raised the maintenance float voltage to ensure a more fully charged battery over a full range of temperatures by providing each unit with an ambient battery temperature compensating sensor. Without this type of temperature sensing, batteries can be under-charged in colder temperatures, and over-charged in higher temperatures. These units can now determine the level of charge remaining, and if weak or in need of replacement, before going bad, and can recover weak or severely discharged batteries that other chargers would reject. They are a high efficiency design, controlled by industrially-rated microprocessors, allowing continuous operation (24 hrs./day) for less then $0.43/month.
Yes that is the correct charger for 24v Concorde batteries.
It comes with alligator type clips.
Per BatteryMinder, yes this will work with the RG-126.
That is the correct charger for that battery. Batterminder recommends using their interface kit, part number 11-10835. The nato socket in your plane is likely run through the master, requiring it to be switched on to charge the battery.
Please see Part# 11-14350 for the G242 battery.
This would work if you had a Concorde battery in the aircraft. It would have to be connected directly to the battery, it will not connect to the 3 prong connector. Keep in mind the charger is battery specific, not aircraft specific.
Yes, this could be used with that battery.
The Battery Minder will not power the panel, so it will not maintain whatever charge the battery has. The battery should be plugged in after use to re-charge the battery to working order.
