Aircraft Battery Charging and Testing Market, By Aircraft Type (Commercial Aircraft, Private Aircraft), By Battery Type (Nickel Cadmium battery, Lead Acid battery, Lithium-ion battery, By Battery Charging Type (Constant Voltage Charging (CP) , Constant Current Charging), By Battery Testing Type (Capacity Test, Charge Acceptance Test) and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Batteries, like other technologies, have advanced significantly in recent years. However, the main technologies used nowadays remain the classics: valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA), nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion). The first type, the lead-acid batteries are the most consolidated technology, offering a competitive cost, high reliability and most importantly, since they do not require regular checking of the electrolyte level, they have been considered ‘maintenance free batteries’. The Nickel-Cadmium battery is the most used for commercial aviation thanks to a high cycling capacity which ensures long life. It also provides reduced maintenance and low weight and size, which makes these batteries an attractive alternative for the commercial aeronautical industry. Some of the users of Nickel-Cadmium batteries are corporative jets such as the Pilatus PC-24 or big commercial airplanes as the Airbus A-320. Lithium-Ion batteries have not been widely used in aviation until the recent years with the introduction of the RPAS. The main advantage of Li-Ion batteries are the very low weight and low volume, which make them ideal to fit into RPAS. Moreover, some modern commercial aircraft have installed these batteries in their emergency system such as the Airbus A350XWB. However, these batteries come with a high purchase price and some safety hazards, associated with the high energy densities coupled with the flammable electrolyte, that make them unsafe.
