Backup Battery Charging and Testing
In the event of an electrical failure that causes SkyView SE to run on the SV-BAT-320, the SV-
BAT-320 supplies power to the SkyView SE display it is connected to, along with any connected
SV-ADAHRS-26X, SV-EMS-220, and SV-GPS-250 or -2020 modules. Because of higher power
requirements, the SV-BAT-320 does not power Autopilot servos, the SV-XPNDR-261/262, SV-
COM-C25/X25/X83, devices connected via a serial connection, or any other third party devices.
SkyView’s
maximum display brightness is reduced very slightly when operating on backup
battery power to reduce power consumption.
When connected, the battery's charge level is automatically managed by the SkyView SE display
it is physically connected to. This ensures that the display has a fully charged backup battery in
case of emergency. Charging a completely discharged battery may take up to 4 hours. To
conserve your aircraft battery, the SV‐BAT‐320 is only charged
when SkyView detects that your
alternator or generator is online. Specifically:
•
If SkyView system voltage is above 12.25V: SkyView runs on master power and charges
the SV-BAT-320.
•
If SkyView system voltage is above 10V, but below 12.25V: SkyView runs on master
power but does not charge the SV-BAT-320.
•
If SkyView system voltage is below 10V: SkyView runs on the SV-BAT-320. This
discharges the SV-BAT-320.
Reference the SkyView / SkyView SE System Installation Guide for more details regarding
current consumption while charging a backup battery.
A battery is fully charged when it reaches 12.25 volts and should power a typical
SkyView system for at least 60 minutes. If SkyView has switched to the backup
battery due to a power loss in your aircraft, it is advised that you land as soon as
possible.
Backup Battery Status
SkyView SE performs an automatic 30 second self-test of the battery every time a SkyView SE
display is shut down normally when master power is turned off after a flight. Additionally, a
manually-actuated discharge test should be performed annually when prompted by SkyView.
