TOTAL BATTERY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Exide Technologies takes pride in its commitment to a better environment. Its Total Battery Management program, (an integrated approach to manufacturing, distributing and recycling lead acid batteries), has been developed to ensure a safe life cycle for all of its products.
Exide Technologies batteries are the first choice in all cases where permanent availability for use is required. They meet all the demands placed on them even under extreme conditions of use.
SUBMARINE BATTERIES
Since the 1920s, Exide Technologies Industrial Energy has gained experiences in the development, manufacturing and marketing of their highly reliable submarine batteries. These submarine batteries have been sold worldwide under different brand names (CEAC, Hagen, Sonnak, Tudor), and found application in various classes of submarine, including 205, 206, 209, 212; Dolphin, Scorpene, Walrus, Kobben, Näcken, Västergötland, Gotland, UIa, TR 1700, Agosta, Daphne, Redoutable, Rubis and Triomphant.
SUBMARINE PROPULSION BATTERIES
The areas of operation of modern diesel-electric submarines are no longer just in coastal waters – long transits for many weeks on the open seas are typical today.
Exide Technologies has developed submarine propulsion batteries with low-density active materials and low-volume, high-conductivity copper negative grids (patented ‘CSM technology’), thereby achieving unsurpassable submerged sailing ranges. The latest submarine propulsion battery designs are protected from repeated underwater explosion by non-destructible shock elements. To minimize the dangerous snorkelling time the submarine propulsion batteries can be fitted with our patented ‘Bottom Lug Connection’.
Other advantages of our submarine propulsion batteries are:
- High power density
- Excellent life span – many batteries have been running for up to ten years and capacities of more than 100% after six years of operation is not unusual.
- High reliability and safety
- Minimal hydrogen evolution
- Low maintenance
- Prevention of overheating and electrolyte stratification
- Thru-life warranty with technical service worldwide
