CL Aerospace gains EASA approval for new, SLA Battery

C&L Aerospace, in partnership with Securaplane Technologies, a Meggitt PLC Company, has received EASA approval for the Securaplane Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Batteries for Saab 340 aircraft. In August, both companies announced the battery’s Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) and it’s FAA approval. Now with EASA approval, the battery can be installed on Saab 340 Aircraft registered in Europe. 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. They can directly replace existing Ni-cad batteries and offer superior hot and cold weather performance and the ability to recover from deep discharge.
