Integrated Back-up Battery System
Model: IBBS-12v-6ah-CRT-V
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 in a
single enclosure. The IBBS system provides back-up power to critical
electronic loads such as EFIS, GPS, Autopilots, Radios, Electronic
Ignition systems 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.

    See above for details on battery charging time. If voltage monitoring of pin 2 of the IBBS is available a peak charging voltage of 14-15 volts will be observed as the battery reaches full capacity. p/n 725.0001 REV 3.0 © 2023 TCW Technologies, LLC.
  • Page 8: Battery Capacity Details

    The internal battery in the IBBS system is replaceable; however, the IBBS product must be returned to TCW Technologies, LLC. for this service. The unit must be replaced with the same Part Number unit or later FAA approved revision. Battery life depends strongly on many factors including operating and storage temperature, number of discharge cycles and depth of discharge.
