Frequently Asked Questions
What is good battery voltage on a new, fully charged battery?
On a newly charged battery, the voltage should read 13.00 to 132.20 volts for 12-volt batteries or 26.00 to 26.40 volts for 24-volt batteries.
Can I charge my battery while the aircraft is on the ground?
Yes. However, you should remove the battery from the aircraft before charging it. Onboard charging is not recommended.
How often should I change batteries?
If properly serviced, your battery will provide several years of reliable service. However, Teledyne Gill recommends changing your battery every two-and-a-half to three years.
Can I use automotive electrolyte in my aircraft battery?
No, this is not recommended! Automotive electrolyte is only 1.260 specific gravity. By using automotive electrolyte, the battery will not function to its intended capacity because the cell electrolyte balance would not be up to the required levels. Gill electrolyte is 1.285 specific gravity. If the proper specific gravity electrolyte is not used, the warranty will be void.
