OVPD- Over Voltage Protection Device
$129.00
This device is designed to “crowbar” the Circuit Breaker by applying a short circuit electronically and “pop” the current Alternator Field Circuit Breaker when voltage is over 16 Volts to protect all of your electronics in your vehicle. If you want an OV device that has a “test button mode” we also offer this model: OVPD-TM Over Voltage Protection Device With Test Mode
Planes these days have expensive electronics, from glass panels to lithium batteries, that need to be protected from an over voltage occurrence if your regulator fails. Your regulator controls the voltage output of your charging system, and if you have “unregulated” voltage event, your charging system can exceed the level of protection your electronics have and permanently damage them.
Some charging system have over voltage protection as a standard feature, while others such as automotive engines do not. This device works as a crowbar that will automatically and instantly shut your alternator off once the voltage exceeds 16.1V so that high voltage levels do not reach your electronics and destroy them. This can also easily be added to a charging system that does have over voltage protection so you have redundancy. This is the safest and easiest way to protect you electronic investments in your plane.

The OVPD is easy to install
1- Determine a suitable mounting location near the Alternator Field circuit breaker (CB), and mount. Often Velcro or a Nylon tie will suffice under your panel.
2- Connect the RED wire to the LOAD side of the circuit breaker. This is the side going to the alternator, not the bus. Use the included ring terminal.
3- Connect BLACK wire to a local ground. Aircraft ground or a ground block. Again, use the included ring terminal.

BB-TH-U Thermal Battery Box “U” Case
Thermal battery box to protect from radiated or convection heat. This battery box is designed to be compatible with our existing “U” case battery models; ETX1600, ETX900-24, ETX680-24-VNT.
The EarthX thermal battery box is 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. Weight is .68Kg or 1 Lb. 8oz.
All batteries have optimal temperature ranges for use in operation. The ETX-Hundred series is rated for 140 deg F (60 deg C) or less for optimal longevity and performance of the battery. Typical lead acid batteries are rated to 113 deg F or 45 deg C.
BB-MU2 Light Weight Aluminum Battery Box
The light weight aluminum battery box is excellent to use with the EarthX lithium “E” case batteries for easy installation. Has a bolt-down tab for easy removal of the battery from the front or top, and is acrobat rated (even with PC680).
This battery box can be used with: ETX680, ETX900, ETX900-VNT, ETX1200, and Odyssey’s PC680
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 6G of upward force and 9G of downward force with the PC680. It only weighs .23Kg or 8oz. This unique design allows for simple, easy installation with the dimensions: 7.1″ L x 3.1″ W x 6.5-6.6″ (adjustable height) or (180mm x 80mm 166-168mm).
What’s included:
- 1 x battery box
- 1 x top front removeable hold down tab
- 2 x screws for hold down
Vent Port Kit
This kit includes includes machined aluminum vent port, washer and nut to make the installation of a vented EarthX battery easy and professional looking. This vent port is designed for our ETX900-VNT battery. This custom machined port is designed to accept the ETX900’s ¼” O.D. vent tubes. The port is an anodized aircraft aluminum. The two vent tubes easily connect to the port with a “push-to-connect” connection like most small diameter tube fittings on the market today.
This port can be incorporated into most new or existing aircraft builds, making a clean, low profile finish.
Hole size required in aircraft skin for port is 1 1/8”.
BB-CU Custom Light Weight Battery Box For “E” Case
This custom designed battery box will fit your battery like a glove and is super easy to install. Designed aluminum battery box for the ETX680/ETX900/ETX900-VNT/ETX1200. This battery box was engineered to be strong enough to withstand 30 G of force yet only weighs .2Kg or 7.2oz. This unique design allows for simple, easy installation with the dimensions: 6.5″ L x 3.1″ W x 6.6″ H.
