C&L Aerospace has signed a long-term agreement with Parker-Meggitt subsidiary Securaplane Technologies to distribute the company’s full line of STC-approved main ship batteries, emergency batteries, and business jet camera product lines. 

“Securaplane is a premier manufacturer of sealed lead-acid batteries for many aircraft types. It’s a product line we have successfully converted operators to worldwide,” said C&L senior v-p of sales Martin Cooper. “This contract renews our commitment to Parker-Meggitt/Securaplane by further marketing its sealed lead-acid batteries' value and providing increased product availability.”

According to C&L Aerospace, Parker Meggitt/Securaplane’s main ship batteries offer high performance, low maintenance, and long life. In fact, Securaplane claims its batteries use technology that beats Ni-Cad, lead-calcium, and lead-antimony in every performance category, "saving operators thousands of dollars annually." Due to this performance, the main ship batteries routinely displace other OEM-installed batteries, even before they have reached the end of life, Securaplane said.
