assurance

The High standards that we constantly achieve have been recognised by the award of QualityManagement System. Cegasa has held an ISO 9001 certificate since 1999.

Our manufacturing sister company has also been certified to ISO 14001, as their EnvironmentalManagement System meets stringent environmental standards.

CEGASA started its industrial activity as Primary batteries manufacturer in 1934 in a

factory situated at Oñate, making it one of Europe’s most experienced companies in the

field of energy for portable uses.

In the late 50´s an efficient and modernised Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (E.M.D.)

manufacturing process was developed and introduced by CEGASA in its factory in Oñate.

Due to the continued growth in the battery sales, in 1964 a modern plant was put up in

Vitoria, equipped with the most advanced technology in the manufacture of leakproof dry

cells.

Throughout all these years the constant evolution of R & D programs allowed Cegasa to

produce batteries of the very highest quality, capable of satisfying the toughest requirements

demanded by consumers and distributors all over the world.

In 1980, CEGASA started its AIR-ALKALINE battery technology and manufacturing

program with a new generation of High Energy Density Batteries for industrial use. By

producing such a highly reliable, long lasting product suitable for any situation, we can

proudly claim to be the world leaders.

Operating temperature rangeThe CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries can be used over a wide range of ambienttemperature: -20oC. to + 50oC.

However, for optimum results the recommended range is -10oC to + 40oC.

Similar to other dry batteries, the capacity falls quickly for high drain rates whenoperating below -10oC. Then it is recommended to connect batteries in parallelin order to decrease the discharge level.

Influence of humidity• When humidity is between 25% and 85%, it has no influence on

the battery’s operation.

• When humidity is lower than 25% or higher than 85%, the batteryhas a capacity loss.

Installation• The CEGASA AIR-ARKALINE batteries are supplied ready

for use. There is no need to add any liquid.

• Before connecting the battery, the tapes that cover theventilation holes must be removed.

• The batteries require a continuous supply of air to obtaincorrect operation.

• They can not be used in completely air-tight installations.

• There is no need for periodic inspections nor maintenanceduring the operation life. The removal of dischargedbatteries and the connection of new ones is a very easyoperation that does not require qualified personnel.

StorageThe CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries are supplied inair-tight boxes, with the ventilation holes closed with atape.

They can be stored for two years without significant lossin the battery’s capacity in standard conditions oftemperature and humidity.

The CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE cells may outwardly appear similar to conventional alkaline

cells, but internally they have substancial differences:

• CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE cells use a very small amount of cathodic active material

when compared to that of conventional alkaline (see Figure 1).

• Thus a larger amount of zinc anode can be stored in the cell and more electrical

energy is available.

• The specially formulated manganese dioxide cathode can be continuously regenerated

by oxidizing it with oxygen from the air, that penetrates through small openings in

the cell and a unique cathode support system.

Best cost-efficiency• Due to the higher energy density, the CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries have the best cost of energy

you can find in the market.

• One AIR-ALKALINE battery (4AS2/45) can replace nine (9) standard zinc carbon batteries (4R25).This means there is a high reduction in total volume to dispose of (see figure 4)

Guarantee - Higher shelf life• Two-years shelf life.

• Capacity loss of the stored batteries is just 5% in one year.

• Capacity loss of the stored batteries is just 8% in two years.

Main applications

Railway signallingThe world-wide Railway Authorities continue to perfect and improve their signal lightingsystems for regulating the traffic and increasing safety. The CEGASA AIR-ALKALINEbatteries are specially designed to power these safety critical devices.

Temporary speed restrictions, track circuit signals,warning lights on trains, level crossings, trafficregulation and communication rely on highperformance, autonomous and zero maintenancebatteries that also have to operate in extremeconditions of temperature and humidity in static ormoving installations.

The CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries are perfectlyengineered to satisfy the above mentionedrequirements and to provide:

• Reliability• Constant and high voltage.• Longer life.

Road traffic signallingTraffic density in motorways and normalroads is continuously increasing in moderncountries. To improve safety, the CEGASAAIR-ALKALINE batteries have the followingadvantages giving reliable energy to hazardwarning lights:

Navigation aidsMaritime and waterway safety is totally dependent on Navigation aids.

Emergency power for lighthouses, buoy lighting, signal lights and radiobeacons need an autonomous, high performance, long life and reliablepower source.

These requirements are more than fully satisfied by the CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries. They are the ideal power source for these deviceswhich cannot be frequently inspected and are subject to extreme climaticconditions.

• Maximmun safety through high constant light.• Long operating time: up to 7.000 hours.• Reduced supervision and maintenance.

7

Best cost-efficiency• Due to the higher energy density, the CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries have the best cost of energy

you can find in the market.

• One AIR-ALKALINE battery (4AS2/45) can replace nine (9) standard zinc carbon batteries (4R25).This means there is a high reduction in total volume to dispose of (see figure 4)

Guarantee - Higher shelf life• Two-years shelf life.

• Capacity loss of the stored batteries is just 5% in one year.

• Capacity loss of the stored batteries is just 8% in two years.

The CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE cells may outwardly appear similar to conventional alkaline

cells, but internally they have substancial differences:

• CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE cells use a very small amount of cathodic active material

when compared to that of conventional alkaline (see Figure 1).

• Thus a larger amount of zinc anode can be stored in the cell and more electrical

energy is available.

• The specially formulated manganese dioxide cathode can be continuously regenerated

by oxidizing it with oxygen from the air, that penetrates through small openings in

the cell and a unique cathode support system.

More powerfull, more reliable

CEGASA started its industrial activity as Primary batteries manufacturer in 1934 in a

factory situated at Oñate, making it one of Europe’s most experienced companies in the

field of energy for portable uses.

In the late 50´s an efficient and modernised Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (E.M.D.)

manufacturing process was developed and introduced by CEGASA in its factory in Oñate.

Due to the continued growth in the battery sales, in 1964 a modern plant was put up in

Vitoria, equipped with the most advanced technology in the manufacture of leakproof dry

cells.

Throughout all these years the constant evolution of R & D programs allowed Cegasa to

produce batteries of the very highest quality, capable of satisfying the toughest requirements

demanded by consumers and distributors all over the world.

In 1980, CEGASA started its AIR-ALKALINE battery technology and manufacturing

program with a new generation of High Energy Density Batteries for industrial use. By

producing such a highly reliable, long lasting product suitable for any situation, we can

proudly claim to be the world leaders.

Operating temperature rangeThe CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries can be used over a wide range of ambienttemperature: -20oC. to + 50oC.

However, for optimum results the recommended range is -10oC to + 40oC.

Similar to other dry batteries, the capacity falls quickly for high drain rates whenoperating below -10oC. Then it is recommended to connect batteries in parallelin order to decrease the discharge level.

Influence of humidity• When humidity is between 25% and 85%, it has no influence on

the battery’s operation.

• When humidity is lower than 25% or higher than 85%, the batteryhas a capacity loss.

Installation• The CEGASA AIR-ARKALINE batteries are supplied ready

for use. There is no need to add any liquid.

• Before connecting the battery, the tapes that cover theventilation holes must be removed.

• The batteries require a continuous supply of air to obtaincorrect operation.

• They can not be used in completely air-tight installations.

• There is no need for periodic inspections nor maintenanceduring the operation life. The removal of dischargedbatteries and the connection of new ones is a very easyoperation that does not require qualified personnel.

StorageThe CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries are supplied inair-tight boxes, with the ventilation holes closed with atape.

They can be stored for two years without significant lossin the battery’s capacity in standard conditions oftemperature and humidity.
