Hi all,

Thank you to many so many of you that stop by the booth at Oshkosh! We always love meeting you in person!

I know many of you have multiple aircraft so this might be interesting news for you. A week AFTER Oshkosh, we have officially received new STC's. The timing could have been better, but we are grateful to get this through the FAA process.

STC Approval for 24V Battery for Cessna 172N, 172P, 172Q, 172R, 172S (this process was 2.5 years to achieve)

STC Approval for 12V Battery for Hawker Beechcraft, Luscombe, Rockwell Commander and Navion Aircraft

• Cessna 172N, 172P, 172Q, 172R, 172S models
• Hawker Beechcraft 19A, B19, 23, A23, A23A, A23-19, A23-24, B23, C23, A24R, B24R, C24R models
• Luscombe 8, 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, 8E, 8F models

How about cubs

Yes! Here is the most up to date list of approved STC's: https://earthxbatteries.com/list-of-stcs/

EarthX Lithium Batteries are Excited to Announce FAA STC Approval for Top Cub and Cub Crafter Aircraft Models

• TOP CUB CC18-180
• TOP CUB CC18-180A
• CUB CRAFTER CC19-180
• CUB CRAFTER CC19-180A

Why make the switch?

SAVE 10 POUNDS INSTANTLY AND DOUBLE THE CRANKING POWER AND LONGEVITY OF YOUR BATTERY!

The ETX900-TSO battery at 5.4 pounds and has 390CCA cranking ability. The STC replaces the HAWKER SBS J-16, which is a 14.8 Pound, 170CCA cranking battery.

	Technology	Hot Cranking Amp (PCA)	Cold Cranking Amp (CCA)	1 Hr 1C Capacity Rate	Weight (lbs/Kg)
EarthX ETX900-TSO	Lithium Iron Phosphate	800	390	15.6	5.4/2.4
Hawker SBS J-16	Lead Acid Absorbed Glass Mat	570	170	12.3	14.8/6.7

Less weight means fuel savings, shorter take off distance, better climb rate, and more useful load.

• ETX900-TSO Battery retails for $699.
• Installation kit and STC retails for $195.

CONGRATS Kathy (and Reg)!!!

I know that you guys have spent MANY HOURS and DOLLARS to make these happen over the last few years.
Glad to see a small company with a highly scrutinized product make it through the process.
(Of course, kudos to any others that have made it through.)

Thanks James. It has sure been a journey and if our passion was not so strong to improve on one of the oldest technologies still used in aircraft, I think the FAA "process" might have been able to break us. The experimental aircraft market has literally been the wind beneath our wings and if we did not have so much support in this arena, we literally would not have been able to endure the FAA "process" otherwise.
