Exide Traction Batteries

 Over the years, Exide batteries have become the driving force in principal economic sectors globally. In many critical sectors batteries are essential to start electrically operated equipment and keep them running in absence of main power. Forklift Trucks in Material Handling applications, Mining Locomotives, Golf Cart, Electric Vehicles, Naval applications - all depend on Exide to fulfil their needs for start-up and motive power.

Exide Traction Batteries are supplied to one of the world's leading OEM Electric Truck Manufacturer in Germany, the country which is Exide's main Traction market after India.

OPPORTUNITY RAPID CHARGE BATTERY (ORC)

An opportunity rapid charge battery enables the user to charge the battery in between breaks at a high current in order to receive more energy throughput before the battery is put on full charge. The major difference between opportunity rapid charging and opportunity charging is that in case of ORC (opportunity rapid charge), the charging current is considerably higher (maximum of 40% of rated Ah). This allows the user to pump in more energy in a PSOC battery in a short time thus getting a higher energy throughput after every charge while compared to a normal opportunity charged battery.

FEATURES

Standard PzS design with round tube positives manufactured with a more robust process.

ORC batteries are equipped with more robust negatives which enables the batteries to take full advantage of fast opportunity and normal opportunity charging capabilities.

Our ORC is air agitation equipped to maintain cooler battery & better charging capabilities.

Comes in bolted connection with thicker flexible cable connectors.

Special TPE twin molded post seal to avoid leakage and accommodate all connectors.

ADVANTAGES OVER CONVENTIONAL BATTERIES

Opportunity Rapid Charge ORC Traction Batteries enables up to two work-shift operation with a single ORC battery.

Opportunity charging refers to the new ORC battery system being able to receive partial ‘top-up’ charges several times during a work cycle, if required.

ORC battery cells may be recharged intermittently for short periods (15 - 60 minutes) during the operating shifts, at normal current or high current (up to 0.4C Amps), followed by a full normal recharge at end of shift.

Replace regular lead-acid traction batteries in same tray size, without adding any ballast.

Existing battery charger can be used or a higher rated one up to 0.4C Amps (40A per 100AH) for rapid opportunity charging (15-60 minutes).

Extended operating time using a single battery with intermittent opportunity rapid chargers.
