How to Replace an Airplane Battery - Pilot Maintenance Tips

Replacing your aircraft battery is one of the few maintenance items a pilot can do without a mechanic. Now, we highly recommend you ask your A&P first if this is the first battery you're replacing to perhaps do it with you or ask for info on how to do it using our Cessna Turbo 206 as an example.

Install AND tighten the positive first. If you install the negative then go back to tighten the positive you could accidently short the tool between the positive and the ground.

Great call! We've seen what happens when that short happens ⚡

You're welcome! We've been working on our planes for 40+ years, and there are a number of maintenance items pilots can do, and enjoy, on their airplanes.
