Securaplane has received STC approval for its
Battery and Battery Charger System
on Canadair CRJ series aircraft.

On October 17, 2003, an STC was issued for Securaplane’s BC-1306 Battery Charger and the EnerSys Hawker 43 and 18 Amp-hour, Steel-Cased Sealed Lead Acid Battery system for installation on Canadair CRJ series aircraft. Securaplane’s BC-1306 charger and EnerSys Hawker 40 AH Composite-Cased batteries are STC’d on Canadair Challenger 600 and 601 series aircraft.
Note: EnerSys’ line of Hawker Main Ship Batteries are not affiliated with Raytheon Aircraft Company’s line of Hawker aircraft.

EnerSys’ Hawker Main Ship Batteries offer significant performance enhancements compared to other sealed lead acid and Ni-Cad batteries. Features include:

  • 99.99% pure lead construction for enhanced life and performance.
  • 30 month full replacement warranty on batteries after installation, 24 months storage prior to installation.
  • Ships fully charged and ready to install.
  • Reblockable at significantly less than the list price of a new battery.
  • True “no maintenance” battery.
  • Hot and cold performance far exceeding that of any other aviation battery.

Included in this STC is Securaplane’s patented “inflection point” battery charger, the BC-1306.
The ability to detect the “inflection point” ensures that the battery receives the optimum amount of charge for all temperature conditions combined with various battery states of charge, which is accomplished in 3 distinct charging modes, and the integral microprocessor provides extensive diagnostics, monitors operating status, and provides a permanent record of fault events, all of which can be presented on a self contained eight digit display.

Other benefits of Securaplane's battery charger include significantly reduced battery maintenance, reduced weight, as well as significant safety enhancements. Securaplane is the world's first battery charger manufacturer to utilize an alpha-numeric display to display faults, operating status and maintenance items for both battery and charger.
