-
Simplified
Maintenance - Depending upon the application can remain
"maintenance free" for up to 5 years.
-
Ease
of Operation - The design of the battery does not
require thermal sensing for safe operation.
-
Reduced
Facilities - The need for special battery rooms is
eliminated. Batteries can be serviced in general workshop areas and
Nickel Cadmium Test rooms.
-
Easy
Commissioning - Batteries are supplied fully charged
and tested and may be stored for up to 2 years and be ready for use.
Commissioning normally consists of only a voltage check, which may,
after prolonged storage, indicate the need for a short boost charge.
No discharge testing or cycling is normally required.
-
Safety
- The Hawker Energy Battery is sealed and has no free electrolyte
which could escape and cause corrosion, even in the event of damage
to the battery case. Being sealed also means that no venting
or harmful fumes can be released into the aircraft or storage areas
under normal charging conditions.
-
Minimized
Spares Cost - Reduced maintenance, immediate commissioning
and ease of transportation all add up to minimum spares holding for
operators with minimum risk of AOG.
-
Unrestricted
Transportation - All Hawker batteries are approved
for world wide transportation without restriction in a fully charged
and ready for immediate use condition. DOT approved as a dry
cell, nonspillable battery. They can be shipped overnight worldwide
via UPS.
-
Charge
Retention - Exceeds any other secondary rechargeable
Lead Acid or Nickel Cadmium battery system.
-
Performance
- Does not suffer from fading after frequent engine starts or short
flights, unlike other Lead Acid and Nickel Cadmium systems.
-
Efficient
- Our battery's recombination efficiency, using a non return valve
for safety, operates under negative pressure for most of it's operating
life
