Description
Thermal battery box to protect from radiated or convection heat. Fits the “E” case batteries including ETX680/ETX900/ETX900-VNT/ETX1200. Designed to protect the battery in engine compartment installations from periods of high temperature (up to 1 hour), such as after shutdown, and from radiant heat from hot surfaces like exhaust systems during and after flight. This stainless-steel box has a mirror finish to minimize the effect of radiant heat, and it has a high-performance insulating foam layer between the box and battery to reduce effect of convection heat. This battery box was engineered to be strong enough to withstand 30 G of force yet only weighs .49Kg or 1 Lb. 1.2oz.
This is a thermal battery box to protect the battery from high temperature. All batteries have optimal temperature ranges for use in operation. The ETX-Hundred series is rated for 140°F ( 60ºC) or less for optimal longevity and performance of the battery. Typical lead acid batteries are rated to 113ºF or 45ºC. It is 86 mm deep.
Model BB-TH
The “Radiant and Convection” graph shows the internal cell temperature with an extreme test example. The battery was placed in a test environment chamber with temperatures of 185 Deg F (85 deg C) and simulated 1000 Deg F (538 deg C) exhaust pipe 6 inches from the front of the battery. This test was with and without a thermal battery box. In this case there was a 3.5X improvement in the time to heat up the battery cells to the high operating limit. In less extreme temperatures, the improvement can be 4X.
The “Convection” graph shows the battery (not cell) temperature rise with a test environment of 185 Deg F (85 deg C). In this case there was a 5.3X improvement in the time to heat up the battery.
About EarthX Battery Boxes
At EarthX, our available battery boxes make installing your new battery quick, easy and professional looking with durability and weight savings features. Here are basic installations instructions: ETX-Battery-Box-Installation-Guide.pdf
The types we carry are as follows:
- Lightweight custom-designed aluminum battery box: Aluminum offers superior protection without adding much weight. The lightweight aluminum boxes we carry can weigh as little as 5.3 ounces, depending on the size, to keep your EarthX battery safe and secure in flight. Our custom-designed boxes are made specifically for different EarthX battery models for a snug fit — no foam spacers required.
- Thermal battery box: Thermal battery boxes are designed to protect your battery from radiated or convection heat. These thermal models will provide protection during periods of high temperature with reflective steel metal and high-performance insulation.
- Multi-use designed battery box: Our multi-use designed boxes are made specifically for different EarthX battery models or for the Odyssey PC680 battery with the use of foam spacers.
Benefits Of EarthX Battery Boxes
Battery boxes are a beneficial addition to EarthX Batteries because they:
- Contain the battery: A battery box secures your battery in place to protect it from movement as it operates on the ground and in flight.
- Weight reduction: By using lightweight materials, this reduces the weight as compared to a heavy steel box used for a lead acid battery.
- Provide insulation: Maintaining an appropriate operating temperature is critical to the life span of your battery. Thermal insulation with a battery box helps to maintain that operating temperature when installed in the engine compartment.
