Airwolf receives ANAC approval for TB20 batteries on Airbus H125, AS355 Airwolf Aerospace has received supplemental type certificate (STC) approval from the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC) for the installation of True Blue Power® TB20 lithium-ion batteries in Airbus AS350/H125 and AS355 helicopters. This new STC follows recent Airwolf lithium-ion battery installation STCs from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Transport Canada, and Brazil, resulting in the STCs listed below. TB17 (17AH) ANAC 2024S11-10 – EASA STC 100855641 – FAA STC SR04637CH – Transport Canada SH24-32 Airbus H125/AS350, AS355, EC-120, H130/EC130 Bell 206A/B, 206L/L1/L3/L4 Enstrom 480B MD 369/500 Hiller UH-12E (FAA, Transport Canada) TB20(20AH) ANAC 2025S01-13 EASA STC 10085637 – FAA STC SR04644CH – Transport Canada SH24-33 Airbus H125/AS350, AS355, Field-proven, Technical Standard Order (TSO)-certified True Blue Power® lithium-ion batteries, provide significant advantages: Lower weight. Up to 63 percent lighter, increases useful load. Faster, cooler, engine starts. Higher voltage for reliable powerful starts. Don’t be let down by your current battery. Extremely fast charging. Have a fully topped-off battery four to 10 minutes after start. Longer life, Eight-year average. Stop replacing batteries frequently. Reduced maintenance. Two-year maintenance cycle (TB17), On condition (TB20). No more excessive damaging cap checks and NiCad maintenance. Extreme-cold capable. Automatic built-in heater. No need to take the battery with you in extremely cold weather. Reliability. Don’t risk a hot start or being let down with older battery technologies. Airwolf is pleased to be exhibiting at Verticon booth 7112 and is looking forward to speaking to operators and maintenance providers about the STCs that they currently hold, upcoming approvals of higher Amperage battery sizes, additional battery locations, and new STCs for additional helicopter and fixed wing aircraft.
