Integrated Back-up Battery System
Model: IBBS-12v-3ah
The Integrated Back-up Battery System, IBBS, is an electronic system
that combines a Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (Li-Fe-PO4) battery pack, a
charger and switching logic in one convenient package. The IBBS
provides an engineered solution to enable an endurance bus for critical
loads found in aircraft. It simplifies the wiring and installation of a source
of back-up power by integrating all of the key elements into a single
enclosure. The IBBS system provides back-up power to critical
electronic loads such as EFIS, GPS, Autopilots and engine monitor
systems.
Integral to the IBBS is a lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack and a
matched charging system to ensure the battery is properly charged and
maintained. The system also includes switching circuitry to provide a
stable source of output power during normal and emergency operations.
The IBBS system also provides signals to other equipment such as EFIS
systems to communicate the operating state of the main aircraft bus as
well as the state of the battery.
The IBBS system connects to the standard aircraft power bus and
provides an output to critical equipment that requires back-up power.
Additionally, the IBBS system provides surge and sag protection for

  • Page 3 (12-15). The pass-thru breaker must be sized for whatever load is connected to the IBBS outputs. The maximum combined load is 10 amps peak, 5 amps continuous. If Pins 6,7,8 are used they MUST be connected to the same power bus as Pin REV 1.6 © 2019 TCW Technologies, LLC.
  • Page 4 Output Power connections: The IBBS-12v-3ah has four output pins, Pins 12,13,14,15. These pins provide power to the connected load. These four wires may be paralleled together for redundancy and load current sharing. Use 20 awg wire for each pin. Maximum output current of 3.5 amps per pin and 5 amps maximum continuous combined.
  • Page 5 IBBS system completes its recharge cycle of its internal battery, for a fully discharged battery this may take up to two hours. Alternately, a ground based charger is available from TCW Technologies LLC., model # IBBS-12v-CHARGER-LI-FE.
  • Page 6 The internal battery in the IBBS system is replaceable, however, the IBBS product must be returned to TCW Technologies, LLC. for this service. Battery life depends strongly on many factors including operating and storage temperature, number of discharge cycles and depth of discharge.
