Sailplane Power Systems (SPS)
Simplify your sailplane's power system
These components make it easy to connect your sailplane's instruments and batteries together quickly and easily with no soldering required. Anderson Powerpole connectors, power distribution blocks and Goddard cables, switches, fuses, etc. - make installation fast and easy while long-term reliability and troubleshooting are enhanced.
All cables are extremely well made and tested by Larry Goddard using aircraft grade Tefzel wire and Anderson Powerpole connectors.
Features:
- Simplify your sailplane's power system
- Plug-and-play power components
- Enhanced reliability
- Enhanced long-term troubleshooting
- No soldering required
- Simple components -> extreme flexibility
- Easy to modify in the future (future proof)
- Simple and reliable Anderson Powerpole quick-disconnect connectors
Components:
- Batteries and chargers
- Battery wiring harnesses
- 12V power distribution blocks
- 12V power cables with Anderson Powerpole connectors
- Panel-mountable battery select switches
- Panel-mountable instrument power switches
- Panel-mountable fuses
