An aircraft battery is an onboard electrochemical source that converts chemical energy into electrical energy for aircraft use. At the pack level, it comprises four essential components: the electrochemical cells that generate power, a battery management system (BMS) that ensures safe operation and balancing, thermal management systems that regulate heat and maintain performance, and enclosures with connectors that provide mechanical protection and integration with aircraft systems. This configuration delivers a certified and reliable power source designed to meet the stringent safety and performance requirements of aviation.
Aircraft batteries perform multiple critical functions, including powering pre-flight checks, starting auxiliary power units and engines, and supplying emergency or essential backup power to avionics and flight-control systems in the event of primary generation loss. In unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and advanced air mobility (AAM) platforms such as eVTOLs, they also serve as a primary propulsion source. The principal chemistries in service are lead–acid, nickel-based, and lithium-based. Lead–acid and nickel technologies are long established across transport and business aircraft, while lithium-based systems are increasingly adopted for their higher energy density, subject to aviation certification standards.
