BATTERY PACKS

Boeing has approved Concorde’s RG-150-1 and RG-150-2 battery packs as alternative IRS standby power supplies for Boeing models 717 and MD-90 series.

RG-150-1 and RG-150-2 (heated version) are 3.5 Ah batteries constructed with Concorde’s valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) recombinant gas (RG) technology. Both batteries have passed rigorous TSO-C173 testing for duty cycle, electrical performance, temperature extremes, shock/vibration and environmental requirements and are FAA-TSO authorized.

RG-150-1 and RG-150-2 are 24v with no internal boosting circuitry. The straightforward design should eliminate the ADIRU power-up test nuisance faults caused by the original 12v ACME P/N 264BS101-1 and Marathon P/N BP-95 power supplies that are boosted to 24v. RG-150 Series batteries dimensionally conform to ARINC 404A, ¼ ATR Short and have field-replaceable battery packs.
