Re: MK 12 volt battery question
One very nice thing about this year's battery is the battery is labelled with:
Not restricted for passenger or cargo aircraft. Meets air transportation requirements under title 49 CFR173.159 and special provision A67 as decreed by IATA and ICAO.
In prior years we had a tough time dealing with some airlines and shippers. They were reluctant to ship the Exide batteries because there was no documentation proving that the batteries met the vibration, differential pressure tests, etc. required under CFR179.159. This year's battery should "fly" through the season without any problems.
P.S. I found the response to FRC845's post in the Q&A Forum less than definitive:
Batteries <R46>
MK Batteries told the member from FRC845 that batteries ES17-12 12V-18AH/20HR and ES17-12 12V-17AH/20HR are the same. Does FIRST concur with this statement or not??
