SRX Ni-Cd battery High power back-up for railways

SRX Ni-Cd battery Starting and braking power for railways Diesel locomotives, DMU (Diesel Multiple Units) and electric rolling stock equipment operate in some of the world’s most punishing conditions. Low temperature reliability Where total reliability is essential in harsh conditions, sintered/PBE technology tolerates extreme temperatures from +70°C (+158°F) to as low as –50°C (–58°F), levels that destroy lead acid batteries. Saft builds SRX nickel-cadmium batteries specifically for demanding rail applications in all climates. Lead Acid Corrective maintenance Extremes of temperature directly...

Reliable power proven in action worldwide High power performance SRX can deliver short duration high current discharges of up to 1 minute and up to 5 times its capacity for instantaneous diesel engine starting. Discharges of up to three times capacity for up to three minutes provide power for high speed train emergency braking. • Very competitive cost less than half the cost of lead acid over a 30 year operation of the rail network. Its flexible design makes SRX ideal in replacement and retrofit markets, suiting existing battery compartments without alteration. Bayonet flame arrester vent cap...

A sound economical choice Built for reliability and long life Sintered/PBE construction brings together very strong sintered nickel positive electrodes and negative plastic bonded electrodes, insulated by microporous separators that allow electrolyte to freely circulate. Ni-Cd will not suffer sudden death, unlike lead acid batteries. Designed-in low maintenance Saft’s water filling system can be integrated as an option to cut the cost and time of maintenance and increase battery life through measured and controlled toppingup. Gases are safely exhausted through the channel system. Meeting recognised...
