Increased customer concerns led Bogert Aviation to
address corrosion problems found in aging Piper metal
slope-top battery boxes. At the same time, they provided
a solution for aircraft with plastic style boxes which
are prone to broken vent tubes, warped lids and
cracking.
Bogert’s battery box is a bolt in replacement for most
Piper Cherokees regardless of original metal or plastic
box installation. It is similar to Piper’s metal sloped
top box, but with several improvements.
First, the box construction is welded stainless steel
with stainless steel drain tube instead of soldered
seams and copper drain tube. Secondly, if a vent tube
becomes damaged, the screw in vent tube design allows
for a quick and inexpensive change. Bogert also
incorporated a previous STC, SA4008NM, The Battery
Box Modification into this box. The modification’s
u-shaped nylon flanges offer extra protection against
shorting, greater access to the battery and cleaner
electrical connections resulting in reliable starting.
The boxes are available in bare stainless steel finish,
but they highly suggest taking advantage of the powder
coating. It is a few dollars more but will provide
maximum resistance to corrosion.
Other
Piper and Cessna Aircraft are slated for AML addition to
STC SA01582SE over the next few months. Visit
