Featuring a full “plug & play” installation kit, dual-stainless strap mounting, and antenna, this ELT includes an antenna and has one of the lowest battery replacement costs in the industry and comes with a two-year warranty: $600, tax incl.
• Aeroleds Pulsar newly-TSO’d NSP & NS strobes: These 4-inch long, anodized aluminum-based 4-ounce strobes provide brilliant LED light in red or green. The NS consumes 18 watts for its 22 LEDs; the NSP is a 20-watt unit, and contains 24 LEDs: NS $1,075 pr. Tax incl., NSP $1,100 pr. tax incl.
• Aeroleds Suntail: This TSO’d tail strobe/position light pulls 16 watts to light its 18 LEDs, using its built-in power supply. With an anodized aluminum base, this 3-ounce light has a rated life of 50,000 hours: $320 experimental, $475 TSO’d

• Aerovoltz 4, 8, 12, and 16-cell 13.6V batteries: Powerful, yet amazingly lightweight, these multi-cell lithium batteries can crank most any experimental aircraft, with engines from tiny two-strokes to even 580-inch sixes. With a service life of more than double that of a typical lead-acid battery, Aerovoltz can be used in any orientation, require no ventilation, and never leak. Even better, amp for amp, Aerovoltz can save up to 80% of the space and 90% of the weight, compared against traditional batteries. Contact Wicks for pricing.
• Aerovoltz Lithium Battery Charger: Though Aerovoltz batteries maintain 90% of their voltage sitting on the shelf for a year and do not require any special charging considerations in the aircraft, the lithium-compatible bench charger balances the cells’ charge and is recommended for long life: $70.00
