True Blue Power TB17 Lithium-Ion Battery

The TB17 Advanced Lithium-ion Battery uses the most sophisticated lithium-ion chemistry available, providing aviators with an unmatched advantage
of power, safety, life and energy.

Ideal for the piston, turbine, and emergency power market, the TB17 starts the aircraft’s engine quickly and features superior energy density — Nanophosphate® lithium-ion cells offer 3x the energy per kilogram, resulting in a battery that is 45% lighter than lead-acid or nickel-cadmium alternatives.

This advanced battery system is engineered to deliver an overall lower cost of ownership with a 2-year maintenance schedule, efficient engine starts, extended useful life and intelligent battery status communication to the cockpit.
