    This document provides guidelines for maintaining Gill aircraft batteries, including conducting capacity tests initially at 800±50 flight hours or 11±1 months, then every 400±25 flight hours or 6±1 months. The capacity test involves charging the battery, discharging it at a one hour rate while measuring voltage and time, and ensuring it meets 80% of the rated one hour capacity. If the battery fails, it must be recharged and retested, and replaced if failure persists. Proper charging, installation, and maintenance records are required.

    Gill DRY-CHARGE MAINTENANCE MANUAL

    7.7 CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS DETERMINATION FOR GILL AIRCRAFT BATTERIES

    Premium Aircraft Batteries


    7.7.1 To ensure continued airworthiness remove the battery and perform capacity
    test, as noted below, initially at 800 ± 50 flight hours or 11 ± 1 calendar
    month(s) whichever comes first. After the initial service, perform the capacity
    test at 400 ± 25 flight hours or 6 ± 1 calendar month(s), whichever comes first.

    The capacity test shall be performed as follows:

    a) Check for proper battery installation per STC Installation Instructions


    when performing annual and 100 hour inspections and when replacing
    battery after capacity test.

    TELEDYNE BATTERY PRODUCTS


    b) Remove the battery from the aircraft and charge it according to Teledyne
    Battery Products’ recommended charging instructions. Allow the battery
    to stand on open circuit for one hour.

    c) Connect the fully charged battery to a capacity tester that incorporates a


    load resistance, amp meter, volt meter and a timer.

    d) Discharge the battery at the one hour capacity rate to 1.67 volts per cell
    (10 volts for a 12 volt battery and 20 volts for a 24 volt battery). Record
    the discharge time.

    e) The battery is considered airworthy if it meets 80% of the one hour


    capacity rating (48 minutes to the cut-off voltage).

    f) If the battery fails to meet the minimum run-time, recharge using the
    constant current method until the specific gravity reading stabilizes over
    three consecutive readings. Allow the battery to stand on open circuit for
    one hour.

    WARNING
    Electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns to

    exposed skin and permanent damage to eyes. Avoid spilling or splashing. Wear rubber
    gloves and safety goggles whenever you are handling electrolyte.

    g) Repeat the discharge test as indicated. If the failure persists, replace the
    battery.

    Premium Aircraft Batteries


    h) If the battery is found to be airworthy, it must be recharged prior to re-
    installing it in the aircraft.

    7.7.2 The continued airworthiness instructions noted in 7.7.1are recommended,


    unless mandated in TC/STC or other design approval.

    7.7.3 Proper installation, charging and other maintenance records must be kept, in
    case they are required for warranty adjustments.

    7.8 CHARGING

    TELEDYNE BATTERY PRODUCTS


    7.8.1 Charging must be conducted in a well-ventilated area at ambient conditions
    ranging from 650F to 800F. Please review charging method (constant-current or
    constant-voltage) before commencing. The preferred method is constant-
    voltage for batteries that have already been activated.

    WARNING
    If the battery room is air-conditioned as part of a general building-wide air conditioning
    system, the exhaust air from the battery room should not be returned to the air
    distribution system. The room should have its own exhaust system that vents directly
    outdoors.

    Sufficient ventilation should be provided to prevent hydrogen gas build-up. Please make
    sure that there are no sources of sparks in the battery room.

    7.8.2 Personal safety is of prime importance. Follow manufacturer’s instruction at all
    times. Note the safety precautions at the end of this section.

    WARNING

    WITHIN 10 FEET OF FUEL TANK AREAS.

    7.8.3 Correct charging is very important and will affect the overall life of the battery.
    The charging process is not 100% efficient due to losses resulting from internal
