This paper presents an innovative solution for increasing life of lead-acid batteries used in a glider houston texans shorts launcher.The study is focused on upgrading a charging system instead of a costly full replacement of it.Based on literature review, the advanced three-stage charging profile was indicated.The new topology of the power converter was proposed and a simulation model was developed.

A simulation study was performed which leads to a conclusion that the suggested solution can be successfully applied to the studied device.As a result, the conclusion of this work is the recommendation for modification of the launching system with an lochby venture pouch additional converter enabling 3 stage charging.
