The SAFT 015698-000 VP230KH is an aviation-grade vented Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad) battery cell designed for aircraft main electrical power and emergency battery systems. It is part of SAFT’s VP series aerospace battery platform, engineered for high reliability, long cycle life, and strong discharge performance in demanding aviation environments.

The VP230KH cell utilizes sintered plate NiCad technology and is commonly installed in multi-cell 24V aircraft battery assemblies used in commercial aircraft, helicopters, and turbine-powered platforms. The cell is designed to withstand vibration, temperature variation, repeated deep cycling, and high-current engine or APU start conditions.
