Saft Nife showcases advanced battery technology for reliable standby and photovoltaic energy applications

The Uptimax range of low maintenance nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) pocket-plate batteries is designed for maximum reliability, long life and optimum TCO. Uptimax batteries’ ability to operate for long periods at temperatures of + 40℃ or more, with an operational life of at least 12 years, makes them ideal for the oil & gas, utility and electricity industries.
Also on show are Saft Nife’s SBLE, SBM and SBH ranges of pocket-plate Ni-Cd block batteries, which offer one of the industry’s widest choices of robust batteries for stationary back-up applications. They are designed to offer 20-plus years of reliable service, with robust construction that withstands wide temperature fluctuations.

Photovoltaic efficiency
For photovoltaic applications, Saft Nife is showing its Sunica.plus Ni-Cd batteries which are ideal for storing diesel-generated and alternative energy in off-grid applications, such as mobile telecom sites with photovoltaic systems.

Sunica.plus batteries offer high efficiency, high reliability and low maintenance – with topping up intervals as high as four years – together with the ability to operate in extreme temperatures (from –50°C to +70°C) and at any state of charge. They also offer a predictable service life of 20 years or more.
