On aircraft with SB 601-0418 and serial num-
bers 5135 and subsequent, a backup battery is
provided to power the APU ECU during cold
weather starts. While the APU ECU is pow-
ered from the battery bus, it also receives
power from the avionics IRS No. 2 system’s
backup battery (Figure 6-8). During cold
weather APU starts, the output level from the
aircraft main battery might not be sufficiently
high to maintain ECU operation. The backup
battery will ensure a successful start.
