True Blue Power TB17 Advanced Lithium-ion Battery


The True Blue Power TB17 Advanced Lithium-ion Battery represents a new generation of reliable aviation batteries utilizing lithium-ion technology. The TB17 is the first lithium-ion battery for starting engines to receive FAA technical standard order (TSO) and EASA European technical standard order (ETSO) certification. Additionally, the TB17 received the first FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) for use on the Robinson R44 helicopter as a primary electrical power source, including for engine start.


The TB17 features proprietary Nanophosphate®


lithium-ion cell chemistry,


which provides unmatched power, energy, safety, and battery life. Weighing just 16 pounds, the TB17 offers a 45 percent weight savings compared to older lead- acid and nickel-cadmium alternatives.


The TB17 offers several layers of protection that include its chemistry, cell design, pack and battery system packaging, and the integration of sophisticated electronic protection systems into the battery. It is ideal for pilots, as it is designed to monitor and communicate temperature, voltage levels, state of charge, and battery health.


Upgrading to the TB17 allows operators to increase their payload, reduce maintenance costs, obtain faster engine starts, and more than double previous battery life.
