Stored energy solutions provider EnerSys has developed lithium-ion (Li-ion) and thin plate pure lead (TPPL) battery technologies to help transform warehouse operations. The company’s sustainable NexSys iON Li-ion batteries and NexSys Pure TPPL batteries were designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and water consumption.
Ideal for heavy-duty applications, NexSys iON batteries are manufactured with high-performance cells to deliver high energy capacity in a small footprint, according to the manufacturer. With modular construction, they can be customized to precise power and fleet demands to reduce initial investment and can maintain a high state of charge (SOC) as a result of faster recharge rate capabilities. The battery’s integrated BMS (battery management system) supports greater safety, reliability, and battery life, and is designed to meet automotive/rigorous functional safety standard ISO 26262.
NexSys Pure batteries were built for light- to medium-duty applications. According to EnerSys, they provide reliable power without the restrictive upkeep requirements of watering, equalizing, and battery changing associated with conventional flooded lead-acid batteries. They provide a lower-cost alternative to Li-ion technology and can be used in conjunction with NexSys iON batteries as a hybrid solution for a lower total cost of ownership.
