Battery Box Mod STC SA4008NM
The Battery Box Modification greatly improves battery performance. It modifies Piper Metal Battery Boxes to eliminate the braided straps and ground connections known for heat generating, high resistance connection.
Hard starting and other electrical problems can often be tracked back to poor battery and group connections. Use this inexpensive mod with a new positive and negative cable if your battery box is still mechanically sound.
This is Battery Box Modification ONLY, it is best purchased for customers who have already purchased and installed Bogert Aviation's "Low-Loss" Copper Cable Kit (03M-KIT/ STC SA3531NM). To simplify your purchase of Battery Box Modification and Battery Positive and Battery Negative Cables, please click here to purchase all items together (08M-SET).
The Battery Box Mod comes with Adhesive Templates to make the U-Shaped cut outs on the existing battery box. The modification also includes the U-shaped Flanges, a Cover Plate to seal the old insulator hole and Rivets. The Flanges accommodate Bogert’s "Low-Loss" Copper cables; The entire flange slides in and out of the slots making access to the battery quick and easy. Paperwork includes the FAA/PMA approved STC SA4008NM, AML, Instructions and a sample 337 form entry.
