START PAC LI2800QC-Twin – 28V DC Twin Pac Portable Starting Unit & Lithium-Ion Battery Pack

The START PAC LI2800QC-Twin is a compact, portable lithium-ion starting unit and full 28V DC battery pack that provides superior starts on electrically started turbine engines.

Designed for engine starting only, the lithium technology is the lightest available on the market, which makes this lithium GPU ideal for preserving the aircraft battery and will start any electrically started engine, including the Garrett and Honeywell TPE331.

Versatile and robust, the Twin Pac unit can be used as a single unit or separated into two complete lithium-ion units that can easily be carried onboard an aircraft. When used as a Twin Pac setup, this unit will provide additional capacity for an increased number of starts before it needs to be recharged.

This patented START PAC unit will provide a faster and cooler engine start than most ships' aircraft batteries. Thus, turbine life will be extended because there is less stress on the starter and other engine components. This will preserve the aircraft’s costly batteries and help lower operating costs. Your airborne, onboard battery can then be saved for emergency use only. Since the START PAC unit secures all your engine starts, this unit will ensure that you have no downtime, even in remote locations.

With separate removable batteries that can be changed in less than one minute (no tools necessary!), this unique feature allows the user to switch the batteries in the field without needing to return the unit to the shop or manufacturer for battery replacement – it’s virtually maintenance-free! Additionally, certain aircraft will allow the ship’s generator to back-charge a GPU. In this manner, the START PAC unit can be recharged in the field indefinitely without an AC source.

The LI2800QC Twin Pac is coated in an environmentally responsible, low-VOC powder coating, which protects it from wear, tear, and extreme weather conditions. Additionally, an all-weather cover is also available as an option to protect this unit further from inclement weather and to gain maximum performance and product life.

NOTE: This unit is designed for engine starting only. It is not to be used as an aircraft battery charger.
