The advantages of a Lithium aircraft starter

Light and very light jet aircraft such as the Phenom 100 and the Eclipse run on turbine engine. And as obvious as that fact is, it is important for these engines to obtain starting units that such as the lithium aircraft starter.

Interestingly, and yet obviously, only small to medium engines require this kind of starting unit that is not only compact but also lasts much longer as compared to other starting units. While most aircraft do not accept a 28 volt battery pack, the aforementioned aircraft (or any other aircraft that runs on electrically started turbine engines) should find the lithium twin pack very handy.

With twice the life of lead-acid batteries, this type of battery is 42% lighter and 32% smaller while the twin unit can be broken into two parts for portability purposes. What is also important is the recharging time which clocks just about four hours.

While this battery provides the same amount of power as the lead-acid type, issues such as sulfation problems do not exist like other types of batteries, making this lithium ground support equipment essential to the running of any aircraft but also makes it the latest offering in aircraft starters that are available in the market.

With these rather obvious advantages, one can safely switch over to this type of equipment in order to get the value for money.
