Metal Hydride batteries for gliders and light aircraft without charging systems now available.

NEW PRODUCT - LX`s Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Pack

Page last updated 1st September 2010.

Metal hydride batteries do not suffer from the drawbacks of conventional sealed batteries of intolerance of being fully discharged and the inability to deliver a high current. They deliver more voltage, more capacity, are lighter and come in various packages the same size as the more common 12v 7Ah batteries in general use.

LX avionics is introducing a range of these batteries, the latest of which is shown below.

LX`s Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Pack

Aircraft metal hydride battery

This unit, developed by LX avionics Ltd and Bicester Aviation Services, uses proprietary metal hydride cells that are installed in a bespoke container exactly the same size as the commonly used 12v 7Ah gel cell. This new unit gives 12v 9Ah and is a direct replacement for the 12v 7Ah gel cell and will deliver more power for longer periods for the same size! It is available with either the connector on a cable or with the connector socket built in.
