Aerospace Applications

APak Batteries has provided custom-designed battery packs for a variety of aerospace applications. These applications demand the most stringent quality requirements, exceptional reliability standards, and manufacturing deadlines. We have always delivered on schedule and on budget.

NASA's Safer Program
APak is involved in the United States space program through NASA in a number of ways. Our first venture with NASA was as part of the "Safer" program. The Safer system is incorporated in US and Russian space suits and is used in the event of an emergency requiring the rescue of an astronaut by a fellow crew member. The system also powers the space suits' maneuvering systems while untethered

We were instrumental in the development of the battery system that powers Safer by improving the batteries manufacturability and reliability. We are also involved in the development of the second generation of the space suit helmet light battery, as well as other programs centered around the designs of the International Space Station.

The Boeing Company's Loop Resistance Tester
Boeing LRTAPak worked closely with The Boeing Company to develop a battery to power Boeing's new Loop Resistance Tester (LRT) for use on Fly By Wire systems as found on Boeing's new 777 commercial jet liner.

In addition to producing the battery APak offers a repair, refurbishment and upgrade program for the AS700-01 (first generation), and AS700-02 (second generation) batteries. Contact us directly for quotations and details.

The Boeing Company's Joint Strike Fighter
APak Batteries produced a series of batteries for Boeing's Joint Strike Fighter designed to test various ejection seat systems in flight. These batteries had to pass stringent military flight standards for vibration and heat dissipation.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Voice Command System
APak Batteries worked with JPL to design and produce a series of batteries to test a computer/human voice command system for use on the International Space Station.

Other aerospace applications
In addition, APak Batteries has developed and manufactured a battery to power BCD Electronics' portable Eddy Current Tester for aircraft inspection. The system has received UL approval. We also designed and produced the battery used in Z-Tech's hand-held Eddy Current Tester. APak Batteries and Avtech worked together to develop a battery to power the emergency cabin lighting system of Cessna's newest corporate jet, the C-10.
