Lead Acid Battery Testing
The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) evaluates lead acid batteries per lead acid battery testing standards. Our battery testing personnel provide RTCA DO 293-compliant lead acid battery testing that verifies a battery’s reliability, safety, and effectiveness in aviation and aerospace applications.
What is a Lead Acid Battery, and How are They Used?
A lead acid battery is a rechargeable battery that uses lead and sulfuric acid to store electrical energy. Lead acid batteries are the most common type of battery worldwide, and they’re used for numerous types of equipment and technology, including:
- Automobiles
- Large-Scale Power Systems
- Motorcycles
- Security Systems
What is RTCA DO 293, and why is it Important?
RTCA DO-293 specifies the minimum operational performance standards for lead acid, nickel-cadmium, and nickel-metal-hydride batteries used in aviation. Developed by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics, RTCA DO 293 outlines procedures that help compare, evaluate, and qualify batteries for use in aircraft. RTCA DO 293-compliance confirms a battery’s ability to perform in conditions associated with aviation and aerospace.

The Importance of Lead Acid Battery Testing
Lead acid batteries are prevalent because of their extensive life span and low costs compared to similar batteries. However, much like other batteries, lead batteries require testing and maintenance to optimize their performance and ensure their safety. Testing allows for the early detection of potential issues, which enables manufacturers and operators to prevent unexpected failures caused by various factors such as:
- Internal Resistance Issues
- Sulfation
- Electrolyte Balances
