Traction Batteries

What are traction batteries?

A traction battery is a type of large battery, a source of energy based on chemical processes. The main difference between traction batteries and starter batteries is that traction batteries are designed and manufactured to withstand deep discharge and are able to provide multiple operating cycles.

UPS batteries

The task of a traction battery is to provide constant power for long periods of time. Therefore, it is used to power various electrical appliances. Due to its specificity, traction batteries are successfully used as batteries for UPS emergency power supply and for solar power systems. They are also widely used as a battery for a children's car, for various toys, lanterns, radio communication equipment, etc. Traction batteries are available in a wide range of prices and parameters.

AGM batteries

AGM batteries come from the abbreviation of Absorbent Glass Mat and are a type of battery manufacturing technology. This technology was initially developed for aviation needs, as it has a number of advantages over conventional lead-acid batteries - low weight, high efficiency, low self-discharge, vibration resistance and trouble-free operation regardless of the battery's position in space.

In AGM batteries, there is a thin network of glass fibers soaked with electrolyte liquid between the positive and negative plates.

Types of traction batteries

Batteries, depending on the application and need, such as durability, number of cycles and load, are mainly divided into:

 

• gel
• lithium
• lead-acid

Application of traction batteries

Traction batteries are widely used in many areas of life and industry:

• lanterns
• scales
• car battery
• toys
• elevators
• UPS batteries (uninterruptible power supplies)
• batteries for solar systems and installations
• golf carts
• electric carts
• electric cars
• wheelchairs and etc.

Traction Battery Voltage

In terms of voltage, traction batteries, and in particular UPS batteries, cover the range from 4 VDC to 12 VDC, and their capacity is from 0.7 Ah to 200 Ah.

Traction batteries have a variety of universal applications for emergency systems (UPS) as well as in the construction of photovoltaic systems, as well as for powering electrical appliances with autonomous power supply.

Maintenance and implementation of traction batteries

 

Implementation in electrical systems

 

Traction batteries can be used independently as a main or backup power supply when there is no such power supply through converters or in electrical systems consisting of fans or video surveillance.

 

Maintenance

 

For proper maintenance, it is also necessary to have a suitable battery charger on hand with which to check and maintain the required electrical charge.
