Citabria ETX900-TSO-AC-KIT

Thermal battery box to protect from radiated or convection heat. Fits the “E” case batteries including ETX680/ETX900/ETX900-VNT/ETX1200. Designed to protect the battery in engine compartment installations from periods of high temperature (up to 1 hour), such as after shutdown, and from radiant heat from hot surfaces like exhaust systems during and after flight. This stainless-steel box has a mirror finish to minimize the effect of radiant heat, and it has a high-performance insulating foam layer between the box and battery to reduce effect of convection heat. The hold-down tab comes with a mounting fixture that can hold a cooling air duct up to 1” in diameter. This battery box was engineered to be strong enough to withstand 30 G of force yet only weighs .49Kg or 1 Lb. 1.2oz. All batteries have optimal temperature ranges for use in operation. The ETX-Hundred series is rated for 140°F ( 60ºC) or less for optimal longevity and performance of the battery. Typical lead acid batteries are rated to 113ºF or 45ºC.

The light weight aluminum battery box is excellent to use with the EarthX lithium batteries for easy installation. This battery box can be used interchangeably for the EarthX Lithium Battery models ETX680/900/900-VNT/1200 or the Odyssey PC680 with the use of a foam spacers. We call it the multi-use battery box for this reason. If you are using the battery box for the EarthX Lithium batteries, you will use a foam spacer on the left and right side of the battery for a snug fit. If you are using the battery box for the PC680, you will use the foam spacer on the backside at the bottom of the case to adjust for the tapering of the case for a snug fit. This battery box was engineered to be strong enough to withstand 30 G of force for the EarthX Lithium Batteries or 15 G of force for the PC680 yet only weighs .275Kg or 10oz. This unique design allows for simple, easy installation with the dimensions: 7.1″ L x 3.1″ W x 6.5-6.6″ (adjustable)H or (180mm x 80mm 166-168mm). What’s included:

• 1 x battery box
• 1 x top front hold down
• 2 x screws for hold down

SPECIFICATIONS

• Max jump start amps: 400 amps
• Length: Battery “pigtail” cable  = 24”/60 cm
• Jump pack adapter cable: 6.5”/16.5 cm
• 1/4″ / M6 ringlets
• Industry standard 2-pole SAE connector, with rubber sealing cap.
• Cable max. rating: 400 Amp

When not in use, keep rubber sealing cap closed on the SAE connector end. You can then use this pigtail to charge your battery or for jump starting. If the cables get hot, disconnect and allow them to cool down before use. Caution: Never use the supplied battery chargers pigtail cables that comes with your charger for jump starting as they are not designed to carry this amount of amperage.  Only use the EarthX quick connect (model #ETX-QCC2) cables to jump the battery.
