Main Ship Batteries - Hawker "Pure Lead" Technology

Main Ship Batteries

Securaplane Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Main Ship Batteries have technology that beats NiCad, Lead-Calcium and Lead-Antimony in every category of performance. They can ultimately save operators hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars annually.

Securaplane is Master Distributor and Design and Certification Authority for EnerSys Hawker brand batteries for commercial and business aviation in the USA. Hawker Main Ship Batteries offer significant performance enhancements compared to other sealed lead acid and Ni-Cad batteries:

  • 99.99% pure lead construction for enhanced life and performance.
  • Batteries are shipped fully charged and ready to install.
  • True no-maintenance battery.
  • Hot and cold performance far exceeding that of any other aviation battery.
  • Unsurpassed cranking power.
  • Battery monobloc replacement at significantly less than the list price of a new battery.
  • Certified as non-spillable and may be shipped as non-hazardous material via ground or air.

How do Securaplane's batteries stack up against other battery technologies?

Battery Type Comparisons: Advantages of Hawker "Pure lead" technology
Comparison Category NiCad "All Other SLA" - Lead Calcium etc. SLA - Hawker "Pure Lead"  $$ SLA vs Ni-Cad (Annual Savings)
Battery Lifespan / Reblocking Cells replaced  (3 / yr) Lowest lifespan; < 1 year typical 3rd yr Reblocking; Lower battery life costs $1,387
Maintenance Reqs. And Cost Deep cycling, fluid checks, battery cell replacement on a regular basis Battery replacement / yr Capacity check only until Reblocking in 3rd yr $1,600 to $2,600
Cold weather performance
Lower limit for engine start: 		-10° C / -14°F -20° C / 32°F -40° F / C
Starting power > power than Pure Lead 1/3 power of Pure Lead Other Lead < SLA < - Ni-Cad.
Lowest Internal Resistance
Recovery after full discharge Full service required Unable Recover 97% capacity
Battery Recharge time Identical to Pure SLA in rate of charge acceptance.
Risk of thermal runaway at high charge rates 		Slower than Pure SLA in rate of charge acceptance. Risk of thermal runaway & significant outgassing & electrolyte expulsion at high charge rates Low internal impedance permits very efficient and rapid recharge.
Achieve 90% charge recovery in less than 60 minutes
from discharged condition.
Storage Life, charged (25° C) 1 month 5 months 30 months $5,000+
Shipping Requirements Hazardous materials, spillable.  Ground shipping only, ships discharged and shorted. Non-hazardous, non spillable, ships fully charged. Non-hazardous, non spillable, ships fully charged. $2,500
Environmental concerns Cadmium requires special disposal Lead is easily recycled Lead is easily recycled
Weight 10 lb. < SLA 3 lb. < SLA 10 lb. > Ni-Cad ($250)
