On today's episode of Hangar Flying, James Lindsey and Smokehouse Pilots member Brent Anderson sit down with Kathy Nicoson from EarthX Batteries and discuss the benefits of EarthX Batteries in aviation and other industries. EarthX Batteries are 80% lighter than lead acid batteries and last two to three times longer. They also have a built-in brain that can communicate with the pilot and provide warnings about battery voltage. The cost benefit of EarthX Batteries comes over time, as they have a longer lifespan. Brent, a customer of EarthX Batteries, shares his positive experience with the batteries in his RV6A experimental aircraft. EarthX Batteries are also used in Indy 500 race cars, drones, and power sports.
