Securaplane’s “smart” BC-1307 Battery Charger and
EnerSys Hawker 45Ah Main Ship Sealed “pure” Lead Acid Battery
have been selected by Gulfstream Aerospace for the new Gulfstream 450.

Securaplane’s battery and charging system has been selected by Gulfstream Aerospace for use on its
new large-cabin, long-range Gulfstream G450. This system incorporates Securaplane’s BC-1307 Battery Charger and the EnerSys Hawker 45Ah Main Ship Sealed Lead Acid Battery. This is a high performance system that significantly reduces weight and increases power utilizing a true maintenance free battery.

Note: Securaplane Technologies is the Master Distributor and Design Authority of EnerSys’ Hawker batteries for commercial and business aviation in the US.

Benefits of EnerSys Hawker batteries as distributed by Securaplane include:

  • 99.99% pure lead construction for enhanced life and performance.
  • A 30-month full replacement warranty on batteries after installation, and 24 months storage prior to
  • installation is standard for Securaplane/Hawker Main Ship Batteries.
  • Batteries are shipped fully charged and ready to install.
  • True no-maintenance battery.
  • Hot and cold performance far exceeding that of any other aviation battery.
  • Battery block replacement at significantly less than the list price of a new battery.

Securaplane’s light weight battery charger offers patented “inflection point” detection that ensures the battery receives the optimum amount of charge for all temperature conditions combined with various battery states of charge. This is accomplished in three distinct charging modes. 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.

Securaplane is the world’s first battery charger manufacturer to utilize total digital control laws and alphanumeric display to display faults, operating status and maintenance items for both battery and charger.
Securaplane has been a supplier to Gulfstream since the mid-80s and has supplied batteries and charging systems for the Gulfstream III, IV and V aircraft. Securaplane is also a long time supplier of other products, including aircraft security systems, airborne video camera systems and wireless cabin smoke detection systems.

Note: EnerSys’ line of Hawker Main Ship Batteries are not affiliated with Raytheon Aircraft Company’s line of Hawker aircraft.
