C&L Aerospace gains exclusive distributorship for sale of new Saab 340 SLA battery

C&L Aerospace, in partnership with Securaplane Technologies, a Meggitt PLC Company, have received a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the Securaplane Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Batteries for Saab 340 aircraft. In conjunction with the STC, Securaplane and C&L have entered into an agreement that designates C&L as the worldwide Saab 340 Securaplane SLA Mainship battery distributor. The non-hazardous SLA batteries are a maintenance free battery, as they can directly replace existing Ni-cad batteries and offer superior hot and cold weather performance and the ability to recover from deep discharge. “This product is going to be great for our customers,” said Martin Cooper, Vice President of Sales for C&L Aerospace. “There are significant cost savings in maintenance, shipping, installation, and operation with this battery. This partnership is a great testament to our commitment to help Saab operators keep their costs down.”
