What is the number and type of batteries installed?

• A. 2 Nickel-Cadmium
• B. 2 Lead-Acid
• C. 2 Lithium-Ion
• D. 3 Lithium-Ion

Answer: (C)

Two Lithium-Ion batteries are installed. The aircraft uses lithium-ion batteries because of their higher energy density and lighter weight, which helps provide the power needed for engine/APU starts and essential avionics without adding excessive weight. Having two batteries offers redundancy and sufficient capacity for critical loads, making two the appropriate configuration. Options with three batteries would add unnecessary weight, while choices with nickel-cadmium or lead-acid don’t match the established installation described for this aircraft.
