START PAC FEATURES
Aircraft Maintenance, 24 & 28 Volt Power Supply

1. Provides 28 or 24 volt power supply which is very high amperage for starting aircraft and serves as auxiliary power unit (APU) for aircraft maintenance.

2. Weather and water-resistant. Also they tolerate COLD temperatures better than lead acid or Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) batteries. All units have a built-in heater which maintains the batteries at optimum output temperature.

3. Non Hazardous. No acid or gas to escape. Can be shipped regular UPS or regular airfreight. Gas recombination battery, means gas produced during charging is absorbed by the battery's electrolyte. The battery (including the 28 volt battery pack) is not vented like normal lead acid batteries.

4. The battery is lead alloy, with starved plate technology, made specifically for these units. There is a sponge like material between the plates absorbing and holding the electrolyte. That is why nothing will leak out, even if the Start Pac was to be cut in half. This technology enables the battery to hold its charge for up to two (2) years on the shelf. Lead acid and others degrade quickly by comparison.

5. The battery packs is virtually maintenance free. They are replaceable for about one-fourth the cost of a new Start Pac. Units are good for about 1200 charging cycles if the batteries are not completely discharged. If the units are totally discharged after every use, the cycle life will be reduced to 300-400 charging cycles.

6. Very low internal resistance, high amperage output, uses strong military specification connectors and parts (like those on a military tank starter). Strong rugged design, aluminum case, powder coated, bright yellow. Heavy-duty, extra flexible power cord. Standard length 6 ft. but can be up to 10 ft. as special order.

7. Units are self contained, come complete with power cord and built-in charger.

8. Chargers are available in 110 Volt, 220 Volt, and international voltages. When the battery is fully charged, it switches to a float mode.

9. Units should be left plugged in all the time. If the charger senses the charge is less than 100%, it will kick in and charge till full and revert back to float mode.

11. Unit will work in any position, at any altitude.

12. Model 1324-1 & 1324-2 is recommended for aircraft with engines up to 800-horse power, such as MD 500, Bell 206-407, Beech King Air, etc. Model 2300 and Model 4300 is recommended for aircraft over 700 h.p. And will start most business jets and aircraft maintenance equipment.

START PAC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. CAUTION Always plug in StartPac shortly after being used. If left in an uncharged state over a period time, the battery life and capacity will be greatly reduced.

2. These units have an internal heater to keep the batteries at the optimum output temperature; therefore the Start Pac should be plugged in at all times when not in use. In addition, the Start Pac may be left plugged in while being used.

3. When batteries are fully charged, Start Pac has a one-year shelf life retaining over 90% of its charge.

4. Cold temperatures will affect any battery performance. Whenever possible, keep Start Pac in a warm environment for best results.
