STC provides for the installation of two Concorde RG-380E/53L or RG-380E/60L, fitted with temperature sensors TS-C1B, in place of the original equipment nickel cadmium batteries.
Concorde recombinant gas (RG® Series) valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries for engine starting, emergency / essential power, and standby power applications are constructed with cutting edge Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) technology. Concorde's VRLA-AGM batteries are well known for quality and their ability to perform reliably in hot & cold climates with superior engine starting performance and excellent charge acceptance.Concorde?s proprietary PolyGuard® Microporous Polyethylene Separator shields the positive plates against shorting, shock or vibration. No other manufacturer offers this dual layer insulation protection feature.
Main Battery Upgrade ? Marathon 9914058-6 (24V, 44Ah) is replaced with either RG-380E/60L (24V/48Ah) or RG-380E/53L (24V/53Ah).

STC provides for the installation of two Concorde RG-380E/53L or RG-380E/60L, fitted with temperature sensors TS-C1B, in place of the original equipment nickel cadmium batteries.
1) Install TS-C1B on each Concorde battery.
2) Aircraft fitted with Cessna Washer P/N 5538330-35 may require slight
modification to washer in order to allow for proper fitment with the Concorde battery hold-down bar as detailed in the STC.
3) Batteries are drop-in replacements installed in accordance with the Cessna 680 Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
