2. Description
The emergency battery pack incorporates a dedicated battery charger and monitoring system to
ensure that the internal batteries are always maintained at their fullest possible capacity. The
charge function is automatic, and turns on as soon as aircraft input power is available. Charge
current is limited to approximately 8 amperes peak. If the heaters are active, an extra 3.5
amperes is added to the peak.
The XL500/5 500H emergency batteries require minimum maintenance. If the plane is going to be
out of service for 60 days or longer, the battery should be placed on shop charge. (Refer to Shop
Level Charging on page 101). The XL500/5 500H does not need to be removed from the aircraft
for any reason except for an outright failure, or preventative maintenance battery replacement.
The XL500H is identical to the XL500/5 except that it provides three additional discrete signals
that (1) indicate whether the input bus or internal batteries are switched to the output, (2) allows
manual inhibiting of the internal batteries, and (3) continuously monitors the unit for latched faults.
These discretes are described on pages 14 and 15. As shown in the Fits and Clearances section
(page 801), the system is contained in a 1/4 ATR chassis 14.75 in (37.47cm) L by 2.39 in (6.07
cm) W by 7.68 in (19.50 cm) H chassis. The XL500H weighs 14.35 0.50 lbs (6.50 0.23 kg).
The XL500/5 weighs 14.30 1.20 lbs (6.49 0.54 kg).

EMI/Transient Filter
The unit is protected from electro-magnetic interference and transient events
on its input bus by the transient filter.
(2)
(3)
Battery Heater
In order to maintain optimum battery performance, two 35-Watt heaters warm
the batteries if the battery compartment temperature drops below 30C (86F).
The heaters will raise the battery temperature sufficiently within 20 minutes,
under cold soak conditions, to recover 90 per cent of the batterys capacity.
The heaters turns off when the battery temperature reaches 30C again. The
battery heaters are also used as the battery load during a BATTERY LEVEL
TEST.
The integrity of the heater is checked by measuring the heater current and
voltage. If the calculated heater resistance is more than 13 ohms, a fault is
registered in the History Log.
(4)
FET Switch
Under normal operating conditions, a steering diode applies the aircraft
28 VDC bus to the output load. If the input bus drops below 21.7 VDC, the
battery automatically supplies the output load via a BILATERAL FET
described in the next paragraph.
Several devices protect the battery system from over-discharge, over-current, and
over-temperature conditions.

CAUTION:
NOTE:
Current Sense
The electronic current sense circuit cuts off the battery from the output pin
during an over-current fault on the +24/28 VDC output line. The current
limit threshold is time dependent, to facilitate large inrush peaks such as
might be encountered when powering incandescent lights. The time delay
for shutdown is a function of the current. Refer to Table 8 for shutdown
delays. Reset is initiated by pressing the front panel RESET switch.

Remote TEST
The remote test interface consists of a cockpit mounted switch and a
remote test lamp. When the remote test switch is closed it causes the
hardware controlled output fault register to be reviewed for stored faults. If
a fault does not exist, and the battery energy is above 65% the lamp will
illuminate. The remote test switch must be held closed and the remote
Test lamp illuminated for at least 5 seconds to verify battery energy is
above 65%.
(13)
(14)
Power-On Self-Test
Immediately upon power on, the XL500/5 500H steps through the
following Power On Self Tests (POST):
(1)
(2)
RAM check **
(3)
EEPROM check
(4)
(5)
(6)
Heater check
If any of the POST tests fail, the event is recorded in the History Log. ** If
any of these tests fail, the charger will be shutdown.

Charger Watchdog
A one minute charger watch dog function monitors the microcontroller
enhanced battery charging. If for any reason the microcontroller is not
commanding battery charge, the watchdog times out and applies the
aircraft input bus power to charge the battery in the BULK power mode. A
charger fault is recorded in the History Log and a fault is present at the
fault output discrete.
(17)
(18)
CPU Monitor
The microcontroller contains software code to check the operational status
of the running software. A detectable software failure causes a CPU fault
to be recorded in the History Log. The microcontroller also monitors the
operational status of a number of hardware circuits. A detected hardware
failure or problem is recorded in the History Log. A hardware circuit is
used to verify the operation of the microcontroller. If the circuit detects a
failure of the microcontroller, an attempt will be made to log a WatchDog
fault in the History Log.

Battery Capacity
The XL500/5 500H battery is nominally rated at 3.5 amperes for 60 minutes or 5
amperes for 40 minutes. Figure 7 shows the output curve for a constant 5.0 ampere
discharge of a fresh battery set. A battery set is considered at the end of its service life
when it is unable to drive a 5 ampere load for more than 40 minutes.

3. CHARGE METHOD
The emergency battery charger maintains the internal batteries at their full capacity while
minimizing temperature fatigue cycles. Charge control is automatic and turns on as soon as
aircraft power is available. The batteries are charged directly from the aircraft 28 VDC bus.
Charge current is limited to 8 amperes. Charge time is typically 2.0 hours from full discharge to
full charge.
The charge method consists of (3) three modes of operation; Conditioning mode, Bulk mode and
Trickle mode. The charge algorithm is shown in Table 1. The Temperature Compensated Trickle
Charge is shown in Figure 8.

4. General Protection
A.
B.
Over-Voltage Protection
Proper recharge of sealed lead acid batteries requires returning 110 percent of the
energy used during discharge. This approach to charging overcomes the problem of the
batteries cycling-down over time. The XL500/5 500H charge algorithm causes the
battery terminal voltage to rise to 30.5 VDC in order to return this excess energy to the
batteries. Over-voltage protection is included to ensure that during charging, the output
voltage will not exceed 29 VDC.
24-32-17
Page-21
Feb 12/02
It is recommended that the battery level test be performed at least once per year.
The internal load is thermally protected and will not allow a level test if the load temperature
exceeds 80C. As a result, level test can be performed as many as three times in a row before
time must be allowed for the load to cool down.
The effect of ambient temperature on the batterys energy content is included in the indication.
For example, a fully charged battery sitting in a minus 20C ambient temperature, loses 20-25%
energy due to the cold temperature.

CHARGE PROCEDURE
A)
Connect the 2-wire harness to J1-10 (+28 VDC) and J1-7 (GND).
B)
Connect the other ends of the wires to the 28 VDC supply, ensuring correct
polarity. Do not turn the supply on at this time. Connect an ammeter in series
with the +28 VDC lead (15 ampere capability).
C)
D)
Turn power supply on, note the input current. A low battery will cause up to
15 amps to flow for a few seconds, then settle down at 10 amps or below. The
current will then slowly decrease to less than 300mA. Allow battery to charge
until one of two events occur; 1) The charge status (from the front panel display)
indicates Trickle Charge, or 2) The Input bus current falls below 300mA.
E)
At the conclusion of the charging period, allow the XL500/5 500H to sit
uncharged for at least 8-24 hours.
F)
After the 8-24 hours, perform a Level Test (Table 3 and page 2-10). The
following section outlines a more accurate test of battery energy.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
A)
A 4.8 ohm, 150 watt power resistor or a 5 ampere constant current load bank
capable of dissipating up to 150 watts.
