Orizen batteries introduces you to its new range of diesel locomotive batteries.
The diesel starting railway batteries are exclusively built for railway industries to provide smooth functioning of trains. They have a unique application which differs from small internal combustion volumes such as trucks or cars. These batteries provide the power to start giant engines of trains as well as to run electronics in the locomotive. Diesel starting railway batteries offers special qualities and is exclusively designed for railway industries to provide benefits like; improving the battery’s life-span and contains low antimony count which calls for low maintenance.
The new diesel locomotive starting batteries have the following:
| FEATURES | BENEFITS |
|---|---|
| Bolt-on inter cell connectors | Reduced maintenance Improved safety: no more lead burning required |
| Insulated connectors | Improved safety: reduced risk of short circuits |
| Twin copper inserted posts | Low resistance, high power output |
| Easily removable cells | Easy maintenance: unbolt and simply replace faulty cells |
| Robust plastic design | Lighter weight: improved energy density |
