Exide Traction Batteries

Exide traction batteries are used in electrically powered vehicles like forklift, tow truck, power trolley, lifting platforms and other industrial traction applications.Exide traction batteries are made to BS & DIN specification.Features:The very low antimony content in the grid alloy ensures low gassing.Water loss and maintenance is minimum.Corrosion is negligible.Long life cycle - 1500 cycles up to 80% depth of charge.Very low self-discharge and internal resistance.Excellent reserve capacity.Delivers consistent reliable power.Suitable for all weather conditions.Manufactured to international standards with advanced battery technology to meet the stringent requirements of BIS & DIN standards.Do not discharge the battery beyond 1.85 volt per cell.Provide the battery with a charge input of 1.15 to 1.25 of the discharged Ampere-hour. 1.15 times for cells up to 550mm and 1.25 times for cells taller than 550mm.Allow the battery to cool down after every charging.Equalize the battery when the specific gravity differs by more than 10 units after adding the initial variation while adjustment was done after 20 cycles.Use dual mode chargers with constant current (CC) & constant voltage (CV) for charging battery to avoid impact of input AC variation.Top up the cells at the end of the charge cycle with the charging on and allow the battery to gas freely so that the specific gravity becomes uniform in the cell. Never add water to a discharged battery.Keep the battery clean & dry. Check the terminal connections for tightness. Maintain record in the record book supplied with the battery.
