Universal Aero Announces DER-APPROVED Repair for NiCad Aircraft Batteries

Universal Aero Accessories is proud to announce the addition of a DER-approved repair solution for NiCad aircraft batteries, including Part Number 539CH1.

This new repair capability represents another significant step in Universal Aero’s continued investment in providing operators, airlines, MROs, and aviation partners with cost-effective alternatives to costly component replacement.

Through the use of an approved DER repair, Universal Aero can address eligible conditions on P/N 539CH1 NiCad aircraft batteries that may otherwise result in the battery or affected component being deemed beyond economical repair. The solution is designed to help customers extend the serviceable life of their assets while reducing replacement costs and improving overall fleet support.

Reducing Cost. Extending Asset Life

Aircraft battery replacement can represent a significant expense, particularly when damage or wear affects a component that previously had limited repair options. Universal Aero’s DER repair capability provides customers with an additional path to return eligible 539CH1 batteries to service rather than automatically pursuing replacement.

The new capability strengthens Universal Aero’s growing portfolio of aircraft battery repair and overhaul solutions, supported by our commitment to:

  • DER repair solutions
  • Competitive repair and overhaul pricing
  • Fast turnaround times
  • Exchange and inventory support
  • 24/7 AOG support
  • NiCad aircraft battery expertise
  • FAA/EASA/CAA-certified repair capabilities

Expanding Our NiCad Battery Capabilities

The addition of the 539CH1 DER repair reflects Universal Aero’s continued focus on developing solutions for high-value aircraft battery applications and helping customers lower their overall maintenance costs.

By combining specialized NiCad battery expertise, engineering-supported repair solutions, and extensive exchange capabilities, Universal Aero continues to position itself as a comprehensive battery support partner for the commercial, corporate, cargo, and government aviation markets.
