In the industrial sector, lead-acid batteries can hardly be replaced by other technologies, especially in applications that require long standby times and constant discharge. For this reason they are often used in emergency power supplies, alarm systems or UPSs.
The durability of maintenance-free lead-gel batteries and the additional higher robustness of lead-fleece batteries allow them to be used even under adverse conditions in production plants and logistics centres. However, the demand for reliable power supply solutions increases with the requirements of the companies for their electrical systems, large machines and network technology.The manufacturer HAWKER produces maintenance-free high-current batteries based on pure lead technology, especially for particularly demanding use purposes. A compound of lead and tin (TPPL) serves as the electrode inside the battery, which ensures that the internal resistance of the battery is reduced. This results in both a higher cell voltage and increased resistance to high short-circuit currents. Therefore HAWKER’s pure lead batteries are mainly used for many parallel connected consumers with high starting current – e.g. in medical devices, high performance UPS and telecommunication systems.
As with conventional lead-fleece batteries, the electrolyte is not liquid but absorbed by a glass fibre fleece. This means that pure lead batteries are also leak-proof and maintenance-free. The high robustness is also rounded off by a flame-retardant housing (UL 94V0) in a comparatively compact design.
Whether they are exposed to vibrations on conveyor belts or temperature fluctuations on production machines – batteries based on pure lead technology always function reliably and are the ideal solution for high-current applications in industrial plants.
