Next Gen Aircraft Battery Powered by Sodium / LTO
Simpler - Safer
Developing new Sodium (and LTO) Aircraft batteries for the experimental market.
In terms of safety, sodium-ion chemistry is inherently more stable. These batteries are non-flammable, thermally stable, and highly resistant to thermal runaway ( > LFP ) ,offering peace of mind in aviation applications where safety is critical.
OEM custom quotes welcome for Sodium Aircraft Batteries
Welcome to Aerolithium/AeroSodium – We make high current 14V/28V starting batteries
Now the simple technology of Sodium and LTO batteries that benefit your experimental aircraft includes improved cold and hot temp performance, less weight, longer life, and more power by replacing those antiquated lead and lithium batteries.
As electrical requirements evolve, Sodium is positioned to become the alternative new power source to aviation.
Sodium-ion batteries offer substantially greater energy density than AGM batteries, along with additional performance benefits, making them an attractive alternative in aircraft applications despite being a newer and developing technology. LTO offers even better Low Temp and long cycle life advantage.
Compared to lithium; “advanced state-of-the-art” internal circuitry is no longer a prerequisite for battery safety: Sodium and LTO are inherently safer and therefore do not require electronic protections to make them safe.
For those needing a new battery having the same tremendous engine starting power as lithium, piston or Turbine,
same long life, ZERO maintenance, 14 or 28V, higher resting voltage than lithium, 1/3rd the weight of AGM, works with any size alternator/generator, has been tested safer than lithium and is priced between lead and lithium, you have landed at the right place.
Since Aerolithium introduced LiFepo4 batteries to aviation in early 2011, a new battery chemistry of Sodium (NFPP) and LTO have now achieved similar parity with Lifepo4 (LFP) in every regard except price: A Sodium/LTO aircraft battery can be made for about 10% less than a comparable lithium battery (closer to lead-acid.)
Their greater benefits; high cranking power, longer life and lower cost equals better value for your money.
Our new Sodium/LTO Aircraft Batteries are for the early adopters that want to switch away from lead-acid but have concerns about lithium. A Sodium/LTO Aircraft Battery has the same drop-in functionality as LFP/AGM and adapts to your aircraft’s charging system. The simplicity of Sodium/LTO is just one advantage over lithium.
Why sodium?
Sodium-ion chemistry offers an alternative to conventional lead-acid and lithium-ion aircraft batteries,
with particular advantages in high-rate performance, temperature capability, serviceability and system simplicity.
All aircraft pictured on our website are satisfied Aerolithium battery users, we would be happy to add yours
operational from -40c to + 70c
Engineering Advantages;
SPECIFIC POWER W / KG
High-current performance
Designed for the short-duration, high-current demands of aircraft engine starting.
Low voltage sag
Battery performance is evaluated by measuring terminal voltage under starting loads.
Weight and size reduction
Other benefits are the same or smaller lead acid case sizes but are 60% lighter than lead-acid and only a few ounces heavier than LFP.
MATERIALS
Copper bus bars, 6- 8AWG wire for high current, vibration , repairable if needed
No BMS needed
Our sodium battery architecture eliminates dependence on a conventional lithium-ion BMS for battery protection and system shutdown. Cell balancing is accomplished using capacitive or inductive equalization; far superior than the passive type used in typical 'advanced' BMS's.
COMPATIBLE w 12V / 24V CHARGING SYSTEM AND ALTERNATORS
Both Sodium and LTO offer superfast charging yet wont overtax the alternator, Compatible with any size alternator/generator.
DIRECT DROP IN REPLACEMENT
Sodium / LTO chemistry is compatible with lead-acid AGM charging profiles, more environmentally friendly, with a lifespan from 8 - 20 yrs
