Evolution Builders Opting for True Blue Li-on Battery
The new TX16 lithium-ion battery offers a 45-percent weight savings over comparable lead-acid or nickel cadmium batteries.

Companies that help owners build their experimental Evolution Turbine kit turboprops are offering True Blue Power’s lithium-ion TX16 battery as the main-ship battery for their new airplanes. The TX16 weighs less than 15.6 pounds, a 45-percent weight savings over comparable lead-acid or nickel-cadmium batteries, according to True Blue Power. This model is a 16-amp-hour battery and is manufactured using the same A123 nanophosphate lithium-ion chemistry as the company’s certified batteries.
