Industrial Standby batteriesA wide offer of reliable, long-life solutions

Always ready when you need them Stationary batteries are used in refineries,power plants, onshore & offshore oil & gasindustries, substations, airports & buildinginfrastructure – locations where it isabsolutely critical to have batteries thatwill work when they should. Saft’sIndustrial Standby batteries provide justthat sort of extremely reliable backuppower, starting power and cyclingapplications for a variety of industrialapplications.

Saft stationary batteries, solutions you can count on

Minimum maintenance –or none at allOur broad range of products varies from traditional cells that require only minimum regular maintenance to our newest generation of batteriesthat are maintenance-free(1), with no needto add water.

A long life even in difficultconditionsSaft stationary batteries have a long life of more than 20 years under ambienttemperatures. Even in harsh environmentsand extremely hot or cold climates, Saft Ni-Cd stationary batteries still offer an outstanding service life as comparedconventional or traditional batteries.

Saft Industrial Standby batteries – A wide offer of reliable, long-life solutions2

By providing a large choice of technologies and cellconfigurations as well as a complete range of low, medium and high rate characteristics, our wide offer means you havethe stationary battery that is perfectly suited to your application. Saft Industrial Standby batteries offer you the peace of mind of knowing that they will work when you need them to work, for more than 20 years, in challenging conditions, with minimum or no maintenance(1).

Consider the TotalCost of Ownershipwhen you chooseOnly the Total Cost ofOwnership (TCO) representsthe true value of owning abattery. That's why Saftstationary batteries aredesigned to provide the idealcombination of highperformance, maximumreliability, long life andefficient operation.

Beyond just the one-timepurchase cost, considermaintenance needs, serviceintervals and—perhaps mostimportantly—life expectancywhen you choose stationarybatteries.

Your installation will lastmore than five years.Your batteries should, too.(1) The term maintenance free means that no addition

of water is necessary during the life time of the productwhen operating under Saft’s recommended conditions.

Saft Industrial Standby batteries – A wide offer of reliable, long-life solutions

Reliable and robust batteriesfor backup powerPower is absolutely vital to UninterruptiblePower Supply (UPS) systems, switching and transmission functions,emergency and security systems,industrial fire monitors and alarms, data centers, process controlinstallations, signaling systems and more.

If the primary source of power forapplications such as these is suddenlyunavailable, a backup system provides a temporary source of power untilprimary power re-engages or whilesystems operators perform a propershutdown. But backup power is only as good as the stationary battery that enables it.

The 1st Ni-Cd battery for plug & play replacement of lead-acidThe latest maintenance-free* generation of Uptimax is the perfect fit to replace lead-acid batteries thanks to its 1.39 V/cell single level charge. When a fast recharge is needed, 95% State-Of-Charge (SOC) in 8h can be reached at 1.45 V/cell for maximum availability and minimum downtime.It boasts high reliability for oil & gas, utility and industrial applications, longOwnership).

BACKUP

Compact maintenance-free(1) batteries for railroadsignaling and offshore applications Ideally suited for trackside communication applications, the Compact Ni-Cd battery reaches an outstanding 100 Wh/L and 30% lighterweight than VRLA battery. Compact is a high-energy, long-lifeand maintenance-free(1) alternative to VRLA batteries in floatingapplications. It is easy to install and its long service life provides anoptimum Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

SBLE, SBM and SBH for a long reliable lifeOur SBLE, SBM and SBH block batteries are the optimum solution for all discharge characteristics. Built with reliable Ni-Cd pocket plate technology from Saft Nife®, they function over a wide range of temperatures, resist electrical abuse, shock and vibrations, need only basic maintenance and offer a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over a life cycle that can last 20 years or more.

This is particularlyimportant when the application is mission critical,such as for process plant where a loss ofproduction can have important economic impactor for a hospital where lives can be at risk.

STARTING

SPH: the powerful Ni-Cd battery for enginecrankingSPH cutting-edge Ni-Cd battery range is ideally suited forengine starting applications requiring high reliability, longcranking time, high or low temperature operation and longcalendar life. It delivers extra-high power, ensuring that any generator willstart in all conditions. Moreover, with a reduced footprint, itenables smaller installations and lower environmental impact.

Ready for challenging off-grid photovoltaic conditions Faced with the complex charge/discharge cyclingpatterns imposed by the unpredictability of theweather, the high cycling capabilities of Saftbattery systems provide reliable power for solarand other stand-alone sites, even in remotelocations and harsh environments.

CYCLING

Sunica.plus for renewable off-gridphotovoltaic applicationsSaft Sunica.plus uses Saft Nife® Ni-Cd low maintenance pocket plate technology to achieve 10 000 cycles at 15% depth of discharge in temperatures from - 50°C (- 58°F) to + 70°C (+ 158°F). Saft operates at any state of chargewithout corrosion or sulphatation.

Ni-Cd for durable batterieswith a long life

Saft nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries offerexceptional performance in a robust steelstructure. Unlike lead batteries, whichdeteriorate rapidly especially at hightemperatures or difficult operatingconditions, our Ni-Cd batteries are knownfor their physical strength, and long life,qualities that are very important inapplications where the consequences of abattery’s “sudden death” are unacceptable.

Saft Industrial Standby batteries are in full conformity with a range of globally recognized quality, safety and environmental standards.

Saft is committed to protecting andpreserving the environment. We areengaged in a sustained effort to useresources responsibly and to act in away that clearly demonstrates our greatrespect for the planet.

As part of its environmental commitment,Saft gives priority to recycled rawmaterials over virgin raw materials,reduces its plants’air and water releasesyear after year, minimizes water usage,reduces fossil energy consumption andassociated CO2 emissions, and ensures

that its customers have recyclingsolutions for their spent batteries.

Regarding industrial batteries, Saft hasset up a network of Bring Back Points(BBPs) which receive end-of-life nickel-based batteries from end users free ofcharge. These batteries are then shippedby these BBPs to our recycling facility inSweden or to fully permitted recyclingcompanies, in compliance with thelaws governing trans-boundary wasteshipments.

The recycling efficiency of these recyclersexceeds 75% of the nickel-basedbattery weight (a level which exceedsthe mandated recycling efficiency of65% applicable to lead-acid batteries),and recycled materials are reused assecondary raw material for industry.

This network of Bring Back Pointscomprises over 30 entities and providesservices in all of our major markets inEurope, North America, Asia and Africa.The list of BBPs and their contact detailsare available on the Saft website.
