What is the rating of the aircraft main battery?

The main battery of the T-6B aircraft is rated at 24 VDC and has a capacity of 42 amp-hours. This specific rating is important because it provides sufficient power to operate various electrical systems and backup functions in the aircraft. The 42 amp-hour capacity means that the battery can supply 42 amps for one hour, or a proportional amount of current over a longer duration, which is critical for ensuring operational readiness and reliability during flight operations.

Understanding the rating helps in assessing the battery's role in powering essential systems such as avionics, ignition, and lighting, particularly in situations where the aircraft's engines are not running or during electrical system failures. The standard voltage of 24 VDC is common in military aviation, providing compatibility with a range of equipment designed to operate within that voltage range.
