Nickel Cadmium Sintered Plastic Bonded Batteries

HBL Power Systems offers Nickel Cadmium Sintered Plastic Bonded Batteries, Model KRM, KRX and KRH series for Railways.

Nickel cadmium KRM, KRX and KRH batteries are specially designed using sintered positive plates and plastic bonded negative plates for rail applications.

The sintered positive plates are manufactured using a high-temperature sintering process to form strong plates, which can survive the rigors of rail applications. The plastic bonded negative plates are specially designed with high power density and have reduced water consumption. The sintered micro-porous separators and membrane separators provide insulation between the plates and permits free flow of electrolyte.

Benefits:

• Optimized performance to suit application requirements (specific design for each application)
• Fits in a very small space (saves 20% to 60% of space used for conventional lead acid batteries)
• Lighter than conventional lead acid batteries (reduction in 20% to 50% of the weight of conventional lead acid batteries)
• Performs even at extremely low temperatures (less than -20°C)
• No topping-up with water required for long periods (more than 2 years)
• Low ownership cost (savings up to 50% of conventional lead acid battery cost when considered over its lifetime)
• Long life (greater than 15 years)
• Reliable construction (no risk of sudden death as in the case of conventional lead acid batteries)
• Quick-charge capability (accepts more than 90% of charge within 5 hours)
• Can withstand extreme temperatures without damage (from +70°C to -50°C)
