#1 Backup Battery - Flight Gear iPad Backup Battery
Best in Portability
Sporty’s Backup Battery is slim, about the thickness of an iPad, which means it fits easily into any tablet sleeve in your bag even when the tablet is also stored. Charging on the go and while in use is easy since this battery can slide in anywhere.
Best in Power
Pilots need a lot of power for iPads, ADS-B receivers, phones and more. This battery packs 20,000 mAh into the slim package which means it has enough juice to charge your iPad at least twice or your phone about 10 times. The Aviation Consumer said, "We’ve found it tough to run the bank dry."
The Flight Gear iPad Backup Battery doesn’t just hold a lot of power, it also supports fast charging. You can charge your devices with 3 amp high output USB ports.
Best for Aviation
Anytime you introduce electronics into the cockpit you risk interference with radios and even flight instruments. We’ve rigorously tested this battery in aircraft for possible interference and it passes with flying colors. Plus, our battery has built-in safety features like overcharge protection, temperature monitoring, rapid discharging and more safeguards to ensure that you won’t run any risks using this while you fly.
Best for Everyone
The worst part of all the electronics we rely on is all the cables we need to charge them. Never worry about having the right cable with our battery. Whatever cable you use to charge your device, that’s likely the only cable you’ll need. You can charge the Flight Gear Battery with micro USB, USB Type-C and even Lightning cables. So once you’re done charging your device, that same cable can be used to plug the battery into a wall adapter so you can recharge your battery pack.
With this bundle, pilots who want to get back into flying get a jump on modern flying while staying in familiar territory. Everyone needs a FAR/AIM and the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, which is included. Plus you get a modern kneeboard that works with a 9.7" iPad and has a clipboard - and you get two online courses to update your training.
