Have you ever wondered, how does it work? How do I properly take care of it? What can I do to maximize the service life of my battery? Am I properly charging the battery? All this, and more, is covered in our Battery Maintenance Training Class. Taught by FAA approved instructors, drawing on their years of experience in the industry, you will be immersed in a technical seminar that will pull back the curtain on what actually goes on inside the battery.
We begin the training session with an overview of batteries and theory of various electro-chemistries (lead acid, NiCd and LiIon). We discuss commissioning a battery and your responsibilities as a mechanic, pilot or service center installing a battery. The testing process is covered in depth so you understand how to properly determine if this is an airworthy unit! Interested in extending the battery’s service life for you or your customers? The processes you have at your disposal to recover a battery’s capacity are thoroughly covered with hands on training. Additionally, proactive steps you can implement to maximize the service life of your battery are discussed. At the end of the day, you’ll be armed to engage in Cost Savings AND ensure a safe, reliable battery is operating in your aircraft!
