Due to interior aircraft area constraints the size and weight of the charger is critical. ****************************************************************** REQUIREMENTS: The replacement battery shall meet the following requirements: 1) The battery must utilize the latest technology in battery design to eliminate high maintenance labor-hour costs, hazardous material and safety related concerns associated with NICAD batteries. 2) The battery shall be a form, fit, and functional replacement for the current SAFT battery P/N 23176 requiring no aircraft modifications for installation. 3) Battery construction shall consist of sealed, valve regulated, field replaceable monobloc cells appropriately wired and rated at 24 volt, 22 ampere hours.
