How ULM® technology ULM® performance hinges on Saft’s plastic bonded electrode (PBE) technology. This innovative engineering solution has the effect of measurably reducing water consumption thanks to a reduction in overcharge current works compared to sinter/sinter technology. Reduced overcharge also considerably slows down intrinsic aging and provides added safety, particularly at high temperatures where the overcharge current is normally higher. Thanks to PBE technology, Saft ULM® batteries provide added safety and longer life even at high operating temperatures as a result of the lower...

You have a choice to spend on a battery for your aircraft... or to invest in one. The most advanced Ni-Cd technology, first developed by Saft, is used in its ultra low maintenance ULM® batteries. Investing in a Saft ULM® means investing in a battery that has the industry's lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) thanks to its reduced maintenance and extended life duration. Plus, since the battery serves a flight critical function, Saft ULM® batteries must meet more than 100 different qualification criteria - giving you full confidence that your investment will provide the necessary safety for...

Saft ULM® batteries have been extensively tested onboard real aircraft, in the air. We work in full co-operation with nearly all aircraft manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide to create batteries that are fully compliant with all recognised international aviation, safety, environmental, and quality standards. We will always remain fully committed to our partnership with OEMs to develop original battery solutions that are optimised to work in conjunction with the rest of the aircraft electrical system in order to: • Provide you with a battery that has lolal compatibility wilh other crilical...

Continued airworthiness and safety depend on maintenance. Low-maintenance Saft ULM® batteries are designed to allow operators to perform the maintenance necessary to ensure guaranteed performance and collect valuable data to avoid any onboard problems or unscheduled removals, with a high degree of reliability. Choosing not to perform preventive maintenance on your aircraft battery can ultimately result in an Aircraft On Ground IA0G] incident - a costly event both in terms of money and in negative impact to your company's reputation. Other electrochemistries, such as valve-regulated...
