Concorde Battery has received FAA STC approving installation of RG-641 lead acid main battery on Enstrom 480/480B models. The RG-641 has been designed as a drop-in replacement for the original equipment lead acid battery on the helicopter. No kit or hardware is required for the conversion.

The 24 volt, 17Ah battery is built to Concorde's standards as an ISO 9001 and AS9100 manufacturer. The result is a product of reliability and safety, fully tested and installation ready. Built with advanced lead acid technology, the RG-641 features proprietary PolyGuard separators, added protection against vibration, superior sustained starting and the premium performance operators can always expect from RG Platinum series sealed lead acid batteries.

STCs are now available through Concorde's worldwide distribution network and are ready to ship, hazmat exempt.
