The BPE-14 TURBO ALTERNATOR was designed to be installed on most clasic, antique and home built aircraft without an electrical system.

STC'd for several aircraft, the unit contains the Turbo Alternator with built-in regulator, and installation kit. A battery is not needed but the Turbo Alternator will only produce current while flying.
