Microtex diesel locomotive starter battery - approved by Indian Railways
Description
Microtex regularly export diesel locomotive engine starter batteries
Diesel locomotive engines use heavy duty industrial diesel locomotive engine starter batteries for starting and operation of a variety of on-board equipment. The modern diesel locomotive in India is a self contained version of the electric locomotive. Like the electric locomotive in Indian Railways, it has electric drive, in the form of traction motors driving the axles and controlled with electronics. For over five decades, Microtex has been a technological leader in the development of high performance Industrial lead acid batteries, especially for Indian Railways. Microtex continues its commitment to research and development for improving diesel loco starter batteries as per customer need of railway diesel locomotive engine starter battery with RDSO approved specifications.
Innovative Design
- Sturdy container design for durability
- Designer lead alloys with low antimony for tubular positive plates & negative plates to prevent failures due to corrosion
- Special Low Antimony alloys makes for less water topping up requirements & reduces the need to top up more frequently
- Correctly Balanced Active Materials ensure long life & trouble free performance
- 150 bar High Pressure Die casted Spine Grids for Tubular Positive Plates (densely compacted under such high pressures prevent early corrosion failures)
- Superior Woven Tubular Gauntlets (not NON Wovens) for Tubular plates Woven tubular gauntlets will not rupture in service and active material will not leak causing internal shorts & failure
- Specially designed Vent Plugs with high visual Red Float level indicator offers easy visual indication of electrolyte level
- High quality flexible copper cell connectors with accurate current rating design
- Special lead coated, corrosion resistant bolts
- Plastic shrouds on connectors ensure no accidental shorts
- Prefer Factory Charged Batteries – No fuss no mess. Use straight away
