Saft unveils Ni-Cd batteries at EP China
A
Saft Industrial Batteries product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Nov 6, 2008
Saft is launching its Uptimax range of low-maintenance nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries to provide industrial power backup for the electricity, oil and gas, and utility industries, at EP China 2008.
Uptimax ensures maximum reliability, long life and optimum total cost of ownership (TCO), even when operating for long periods at high ambient temperatures.
Also on display will be Saft's SBLE range of pocket-plate block batteries, developed for backup power and bulk energy storage applications that require long discharge times (typically 3 to 100 hours), together with the Sunica.plus range of batteries, optimised to deliver superior performance and reliability in renewable energy installations.
Uptimax provides high performance and an extended service life - and even at a temperature of 40C offers an operational life of at least 12 years.
The battery's excellent chargeability ensures that, even at this temperature, a single-level low- voltage charge for 15 hours will enable it to deliver more than 90 per cent of its capacity.
Also, in common with all Saft Ni-Cd batteries, Uptimax's behaviour is entirely predictable.
Unlike VRLA (valve-regulated lead acid) batteries often found in stationary applications, it will never suffer from 'sudden death'.
A key feature of Uptimax is its low-maintenance design.
This ensures very efficient gas recombination, with very low gas emission, well in excess of the requirements of IEC 62259.
In normal conditions, an Uptimax battery will only need one top-up with water in its whole service life.
Uptimax batteries are available in a wide range of capacities, with a choice of L-type plates from 15 to 1,700Ah for relatively long discharge periods (3 to 100 hours), or M-type plates from 8 to 1,330Ah to sustain loads for periods ranging from 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Uptimax is designed for ease of transportation, installation and operation.
Uptimax cells are assembled in blocks of up to six, and are delivered ready-filled with electrolyte and charged.
In normal conditions, an Uptimax battery can be stored for up to 2 years.
Uptimax batteries are manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
They also come with the total service, technical and training backup provided by Saft's worldwide sales and after-sales support network.
