Description
The FAA approved 12V ETX900-TSO designed for certified aircraft. An STC is required for installation.
This battery has electronic protections (BMS) and built in thermal runaway containment and venting ability built in. The ETX900-TSO meets all of the DO-311a and DO-160 requirements for a lithium battery in aircraft.
Our ETX battery series is fully protected by an integrated battery management system (BMS) that protects the cell’s from over discharge, over charge, short circuit, temperature, plus cell balancing to ensure charge levels are equal. Additionally, our ETX Hundred series aircraft batteries have redundant electronic circuits and battery fault indication. This battery also has fault indication that can be programed into your EFIS or wired to an LED on your panel. The fault indicator alerts you to the state of charge and state of health of the battery.
An STC is required for installation. For STC installation, KITS are sold separately and are unique per airframe. Use the search feature button of WHAT BATTERY FITS MY VEHICLE button and then choose CERTIFIED AIRCRAFT to find you exact kit needed for your airframe.
EarthX is excited to provide an upgraded solution for one of the oldest technologies still used in general aviation with the FAA TSO approved ETX900-TSO model lithium battery! This lithium iron phosphate battery will provide you a massive weight savings, increased life span, and more cranking power. Aircraft manufacturers are making the switch to this type of technology with Type Certificated aircraft, and we are adding hundreds of aircraft models to the AML STC, which we provide to you free of charge.
FAA REQUIRED STATEMENT:
“The conditions and test required for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. Those installing this article either on or within a specific type or class of aircraft must determine that the article installation conditions are within the TSO standards.

EarthX ETX900-TSO & ETX680-24-TSO Lithium Batteries for Certified Aircraft
Common Uses for 12V Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries
Some of the most common uses include:
- ATVs: All-terrain vehicles are designed and used for recreational or work type applications with many different features for your application. The size and power of these vehicles lends itself to powerful lightweight 12V lithium iron phosphate batteries.
- UTVs: Utility terrain vehicles are meant for off-roading, like ATVs, but they have an enclosure for the seats and are often designed for work applications over recreational ones.
- Snowmobiles: Snowmobiles are like the ATVs of snow and ice. These machines use skis instead of wheels and benefit from the power of a LiFePo4 battery.
- Motorcycles and scooters: These vehicles operate on two wheels with high power requirements, and 12V lithium starter batteries can deliver.
- Drag race cars: Drag racing comes with low weight requirements and durability demands. Our 12V lithium batteries can handle the job.
- Experimental or certified aircraft: Small planes can benefit from the power capabilities of 12V lithium batteries and weigh 80% less than an equivalent lead acid battery.
Benefits of 12V Lithium Batteries
Our 12V lithium batteries are a great choice for your ATV and beyond for several reasons. You can count on EarthX Batteries because they are:
- Lightweight: Compared to lead acid equivalents, 12V lithium batteries are about 80% lighter, making them easier to install and reducing the overall weight of your vehicle.
- Eco-friendly: EarthX Batteries are nontoxic, nonhazardous and nonpoisonous. Unlike lead acid batteries, there is no potential of spilling acid.
- Long-lasting: While you can trust LiFePo4 batteries to improve starting performance, they also have a life span up to six years. Our 12V batteries have a slower discharge rate than lead acid counterparts, meaning you have to charge them less often.
- Safe: Thanks to the integrated Battery Management System (BMS), all EarthX batteries have monitoring features that protect the cells and ensure superior performance and longer life spans.
Charging:
EarthX batteries charge up to three times faster than lead acid equivalents. Keep these charging tips in mind:
- Use an EarthX-recommended charger for the best results.
- Maintain your battery at its minimum voltage of 13.28V or higher for a longer life span.
- Use a “plug in the wall” charger for discharge batteries before engine start attempts or jumpstarting for best performance and longevity.
