Aircraft Batteries

There are two types of aircraft batteries which common use today

1. Lead-Acid
2. Nickel-Cadmium

Both of these devices use positive and negative plates in an electrolyte.

Note, Aircraft batteries do not supply electricity for the normal operation of electrical system in flight(These are function of generator and alternator). The purpose of aircraft batteries is to operate the starter and to supply power for intermittent electrical loads whose current demands exceed the output of the Generator
