The Hawker 43 AH “pure lead” main ship battery
is now PMA’d for use on DHC-8 in both Canada and the U.S.

On 3 June 2004, an EnerSys/Hawker Sealed Lead Acid battery was PMA'd on DHC-8 aircraft in the U.S. Previously, it had been PMA'd for the same aircraft in Canada. Unique features of the Securaplane designed Hawker battery is that it is a direct replacement for the existing Ni-Cad battery and does not require any modification to the existing charging system or battery temperature system on the aircraft.

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

As the design authority, Securaplane designed this battery specifically to fit on the aircraft in the existing configuration and to operate with the existing charging system.

EnerSys' line of Hawker Main Ship batteries offer significant performance enhancements compared to other sealed lead acid and Ni-Cad batteries. Benefits 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 monoblock replacement at significantly less than the list price of a new battery.

Securaplane has been a supplier to aviation since the mid-80s and has supplied batteries and charging systems for many aircraft including these recent certifications: ATR 42, Dash-8, Caravan 208, G-II, G-III, G-IV, CL600/601, CRJ 100/200, Hawker 800, and Citation 500/501/550/560.

Note: The Hawker battery brand is not affiliated with Raytheon Aircraft Company’s line of Hawker aircraft.
