Model Li2800QC

Mobile 28V Lithium Aircraft Starting Unit

PATENTED

This compact, portable lithium-ion starting unit is a full 28VDC battery pack and will provide 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 to preserve the aircraft battery and will start any electrically started engine, including the Garrett and Honeywell TPE331.

This patented START PAC® unit will provide a faster and cooler engine start than most ship’s aircraft batteries (the turbine is spooled to more revolutions per second before fuel is injected). 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, on-board battery can then be saved for emergency use only. As a START PAC® secures all your engine starts, this unit will ensure that you have no downtime, even in remote locations.

This START PAC® has separate removable batteries that can be changed in less than one minute (No tool 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 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 the maximum performance and product life.

NOTE: When storing the START PAC® for more than 30 days, remove the battery box from the charging unit and store separately.

NOTE: Lithium ion batteries can be damaged by deep discharges. Do not run the batteries down below 23 volts, a spike during a start is okay. Voltages below 23 begin the damage to the batteries. At 18 volts, the batteries will be damaged beyond repair.

All START PAC™ products come with a 1-year warranty on workmanship and materials.*
