Application
Silver Start on-board aircraft batteries employ Pure Lead-Tin, Thin Plate technology for high-performance.
These Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries are designed using Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) separators that render the batteries spill-proof for aerobatic use.
The use of AGM separators in combination with selfresealing,
pressure-regulating valves and a starved electrolyte design enable recombination of gases generated during normal operation. This eliminates the need for electrolyte top-up.
The SS28300 is a 24V, 28Ah@5hr battery consisting of two 12V blocks connected together in series.
This battery is used for on-board aircraft starting and for providing emergency backup in case of generator failure.
The SS28300 battery is available with or without the battery box in various configurations depending on the requirements of the specific helicopter/aircraft:
Battery Type

Application
|
Number of batteries per helicopter or aircraft |
SS 28300 MI | MI 8 Helicopter | 6 |
MI 17 Helicopter | 3 | |
SS 28300 AN | AN-22, AN-24, AN-26, AN-32 Aircraft | 3 |
SS 28300 IS | Iskara Aircraft | 2 |
The SS28300 battery is also suitable (with minor modifications of battery box) for use on
*MI-14
*AN-22, AN-24, AN-26
Silver Start batteries are delivered fully charged and are ready for immediate use. These batteries
are a replacement for the Russian 12CAM28 dry charged lead acid battery.
