The high-power railway starting battery
TECHNIQUE
BLUE
Saft’s SRX nickel-based battery enables reliable starting of diesel locomotives and DMUs, even in some of
the world’s toughest conditions and extreme temperatures.
Saft’s SRX nickel cadmium battery delivers
the short duration, high peak discharge
currents essential for instant engine
starting, emergency braking, tilting, and
for raising pantographs. It has a wide
operating temperature range of -25°C to
+50°C and can resist temperature extremes
of -50°C to +70°C without affecting starting
during capability.
SRX is a low maintenance battery capable
of operating for two years or more without
topping up and for a service life of more
than 15 years. Saft’s water-filling system
can be supplied as an option for ease of
maintenance.
Applications
All types of trains
• Urban transport: metros, tramways, tramtrains, airport shuttles
Regional
transport: EMU, DMU (Electric and
•
Diesel Multiple Units)
• Intercity transport: high-speed trains,
electric and diesel locomotives, passenger
coaches
All types of function
• Engine starting
• Emergency braking
• Fail-safe train start-up: pantograph
lift-up, computing, electronics
Benefits
• Reliable power for engine starting, even
at extremely low temperatures
• Flexible single-cell design keeps down
overall costs
• Low LCC (Life Cycle Cost)
