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

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.
