Piper operators to profit from Concorde power pack
Concorde's RG-41/53 offers increased starting power and reserve capacity by nearly 40 per cent. It reduces engine wear appreciably and reduces depth of discharge on engine start, leading to increased battery life.
The RG-41/53 has been specifically designed to offer a heavy-duty battery option to M500 and M600 operators.

Concorde Battery Corporation has introduced the RG-41/53, the latest addition to its turbine Platinum series. The robust 53 Ah AGM battery is TSO-C173a approved and eligible for installation in Piper PA-46-500TP and PA-46-600TP aircraft with FAA STC. The STC approves installation of the RG-41/53 battery in place of Piper part number 601-910. It is eligible for use on aircraft registered in the United States and those in Canada under Staff Instruction.

Concorde's STC and RG-41/53 were specifically designed to offer a heavy-duty battery option to M500 and M600 operators without modification to the airframe. Increased starting power and reserve capacity by nearly 40 per cent reduce engine wear appreciably and also reduce the depth of discharge on engine start, resulting in increased battery life.

Concorde's RG-41/53 and STC SA01050DE are available through its worldwide authorised distributor network. The company's sealed lead acid batteries never require water replenishment, are maintenance free and pose no threat of thermal runaway.
