Recup batteries are maintenance free
August 1st 2010 Exide Technologies has launched a
new range of monobloc batteries
featuring spiral wound AGM
technologies. The drysafe RECUP
(short for recuperation) batteries
require no maintenance (including
topping up) as the electrolyte is
suspended in an Absorbed Glass
Mat.
The company says: "The main
benefit is that they offer superior
high power performance
(such as large power draws
over short durations) and
are well suited for fast
and/or opportunity charging
as they can accept a high
charge."
They are suitable for a range
of applications including
electric pallet trucks.
The spiral-wound design
gives a greater surface area of
positive and negative plate within
the cell and is the most efficient way
of liberating the stored energy from
a lead acid battery. As well as being
maintenance free, they are vibration
resistant, can operate effectively in
low temperatures and have minimal
health & safety implications. More articles from GNB Industrial Power: |
