Using Megapulse on aircraft
- Why Megapulse should be fitted to an aircraft battery:
- After a few years, does the battery not work like it used to when new?
- Is cranking becoming more difficult, starting not quite as easy?
- Does the battery recharge slowly after start-up and maintain the charge rate for a long time?
- Note the ammeter after start-up: a good battery will charge at 60A or more, reducing to
a few amps by the time you start to taxi. A constant low charge rate is symptomatic of a failing battery.
- Note the ammeter after start-up: a good battery will charge at 60A or more, reducing to
- Does the aircraft spend a lot of time in the hangar?
- An aircraft that flies 260 hours / year spends 97% of its time in the hangar!
A battery standing idle for long periods without being on charge experiences accelerated sulphation.
- An aircraft that flies 260 hours / year spends 97% of its time in the hangar!
- Do you need to replace the batteries after only 3 years or so?
