A Saft battery takes off every 2 seconds! Soft7 s first aircraft program dates back to 1932 when the Aero postale Company requested batteries that could ensure the easy start of their aircraft engines. More than 80 years later, Saft is proud to be the world leader in this activity, with batteries on board two-thirds civil and military aircraft. Almost the entire aircraft industry has placed their trust in Saft. An incredible number of Saft batteries are currently flying all over the world. Indeed, most OEMs worldwide have chosen Saft to be their preferred battery supplier. link in aircraft...

Safi batteries are custom-engineered to the specifications of a variety of aircraft programs. As a result, Saft offers over 400 different battery designs suiting virtually every requirement, all optimised for energy and power. The full range of Saft aviation cells Saft Ni-Cd cells meet the evolving needs of the market, and are designed for both energy and power: ■ ULM® energy & power cell |12-53Ah) ■ VXP Extra high power cell (23-41 Ah) ■ VHP energy & power cell (17-45Ah) ■ VP power cell (6-40Ah) ■ VO energy cell (12-40Ah) Ultra Low Maintenance® ULM® technology - first developed by Saft -...

Only the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) represents the true value of owning a battery. Beyond just the onetime purchase cost, consider the following factors when you choose batteries for your aircraft: Service life Saft batteries last at least 3 times longer than competing lead-acid batteries. Lower your TCO with Saft by using fewer replacement batteries. Maintenance costs Saft has developed optimised maintenance procedures for its batteries to ensure safety, maximum service life and superior performance. Consequently - and even with the cost of maintenance included - Saft provides a lower...

Soft's high-performance Ni-based batteries are meeting the expectation of today's aircraft. But did you know that our engineers are already putting their 15+ years of experience with Li-ion applications to work on developing cutting-edge battery systems to meet the increased power and energy demands for tomorrow More and All Electric Aircraft'? Li-ion batteries are of particular interest for the development of advanced aircraft and UAVs where weight considerations are critical to the success of the mission and control over costs. A lower weight results in reduced fuel burn and C02reduction...

Environmental benefits of Ni-based batteries: ■ Unmatched long life reduces the need to transport new/used batteries and associated environmental impact ■ Reliable thus requiring fewer replacement cells over the life of the battery ■ Over 75% of the components can be recycled including the electrolyte, the plastic casing, connecting components, cadmium, nickel and steel Soft is committed to the highest standards of environmental stewardship Saft works with a worldwide network of collection partners forthe recycling of its industrial batteries. By bringing their end-of-life batteries to this...
