This lithium aircraft battery is based on the ETX900 design. It has the same cranking, capacity and electronic protections (BMS) but also has the addition of built in thermal runaway containment and venting for in-cabin installation.  The ETX900-VNT meets all of the DO-311a lithium battery use in aircraft testing requirements but this is not a TSO or PMA part number.

This lithium battery is intended for 540ci engine size or less; 80 amp alternator/generator or less.  We recommend the ETX900-VNT for Lycoming 320, 360, 390 models with high compression.  The ETX900-VNT is also excellent with many 540 and 550 applications.  For more performance, we often recommend the ETX1200 for 540 and 550 engines, or engines with larger alternators.

The ETX900-VNT is a drop it fit for the Odyssey PC680.

A battery management system (BMS) fully protects this lithium starter battery. The BMS protects the cell’s from over discharge, over charge, short circuit, temperature, in addition to cell balancing, to ensure charge levels are equal. Additionally, ETX-Hundred Series aircraft batteries have redundant electronic circuits and battery fault indication. The fault indicator can be connected into your EFIS or wired to a 12volt LED light on your control panel to alert you to the state of charge and state of health of the battery.
