from an ABS Tech Tips emailQ: I need to replace the battery box-do you know of a source?
A: Aviation Research Systems has an STC for a replacement battery box that covers the V35B model.
Hammock Aviation also makes a replacement battery box that would need to be approved via an in-field approval on a 337 form. You would want to check this approval possibility with your A&P/IA prior to purchasing this unit. In-field approvals vary considerably depending on the local FAA office and even with individual inspectors.
You could price a replacement at Hawker Beechcraft or salvage yards, however I believe one of the above options is probably the more economical way to go. The P/N I came up with is 35-410462-3 for the box assembly which is superseded to a -601. On the Hawker Beechcraft web site it is shown as a valid number but with no price or stock.
