AvTek uses rechargeable, dependable, deep discharge batteries as the power source in its Standby Electrical System. They are sealed and maintenance free. Nothing can get out and there's nothing to add. They can't leak, because the acid is absorbed in the "Substrate" were gases are re-combined, per Yuasa Engineers. Very Safe Batteries, in AvTek's Ventilated Enclosure Box. Both 12 volt and 28 volt Units includes an A/c 110v Charger. AvTek's HOME Page.
All the potential stored energy will be available to your dead panel. Power is delivered through the cigarette lighter. No Power will be discharged through the cigarette lighter greater then what it takes to heat up the lighter element in the first place. AvTek's design is MUCH more then a Battery in a Black Box AvTek uses a circuit board with FAA-PMA-Approved Parts to control the power to the buss. This Smart board monitors the amperage demand at an efficient, reliable rate to insure a safe I F R descent. An uncontrolled portable battery connected to the cigarette lighter could smoke the panel, as with any home made project built without an controlling (PCB) Printed circuit Board. AvTek's Batteries are POWERFUL. Clearly capable of delivering over 200 amps through the Cig plug, enough to start the engine if NOT controlled. So, Protection is what the "Printed Circuit Board" does for you. While delivering Reliable, Dependable 60 mins or LONGER, to your IFR Panel. With the Master Switch turned OFF the panel is now a closed loop circuit with the cigarette lighter connected directly to the BUSS, right along with all the radios. ONLY AvTek has a 28 Volt Battery unit, not just 12 volt. How MUCH?
Whatever killed the Aircraft's battery in the first place (alternator failure) has now been isolated from the buss with the Master Switch turned OFF. 12 volt and 28 volt Aircraft are all the same. At least 45, up-to 86 minutes of power is available -- over an hour has been reported by Many of our customer's. Aircraft to aircraft, each panel will vary.
Our current I F R customers tell us the following instruments are what they feel are necessary for a safe I F R descent:
#1 Nav/Comm with a glide slope, HSI, turn bank indicator, GPS / loran, and outer marker beacon. It is possible to also drive an auto pilot. It would be very helpful to have an extra pair of hands in the cockpit. Of course your panel might have these, or other instruments. Any combination of instruments up to 7 amps (12v) or 8 amps 28v for 60 minutes, over an hour is possible. It is also possible for a brief period to get a large burst of power, for an example: the pitot heater. It has also been reported to us by our customers that the gear was extended after the panel was on for over 40 minutes. This is a bonus, and is possible, however we make no claims as to its gear lowering success on each aircraft.
Please, Understand this VERY important Point: When You DO have an Electrical Failure everything that you had on will go DEAD. Will AvTek's 8 Pound Parachute Re-Power that complete IFR Panel Stack? NO-WAY! And...
...AvTek is not advertising it will. However It will drive: #1 Nav/Com with Glide-Slope, GPS, Outer-Marker, HSI and More depending on your Radios Manufacture and that current Draw. Many of AvTek's customer have reported that they were able to SAFELY descend and shoot an ILS approach with their Head-set ON when in an actual IFR Failure, NOT using an Hand-Held.

The 12 volt (only 12v) unit has an "ALERT" feature. When there is 5 to 7 minuets of Power remaining; a RED will begin to BLINK. If you have used AvTek's unit for 45 to 86 Minuets of IFR decent; you SHOULD be safely on the ground. So I hope you NEVER see the red Blinking Led. If you do see the Red Blinking Led, lets hope you are on the ground Taxiing to the tie-down. If you are on Final, you have a 5 Min warning.
I apologize for the "Scary" Night-time Stories, but it's real and YOU know-it. Some have told me that I'm selling FEAR to get IFR Pilots to buy. No... Sir I say; I'm providing INSURANCE, against what WILL happen. My Policy will save your life, Aircraft Destroyed While IFR not reimburse Money after your loss, and your might say NO! Why?
Our product has an Aircraft quality workmanship, and a Aircraft circuit breaker, NOT a fuse. Our product is sold only to Aviators like yourself. HOW MUCH Click Here Order_form And Prices. Click Here for More detail INFO
