Saft’s SRX nickel-cadmium batteries deliver guaranteed power for starting the engine – even in freezing temperatures – for emergency braking, tilting, and for raising pantographs for diesel locomotives, diesel multiple units, and electric rolling stock. Used where high current discharges are required, they can deliver short-duration, high-current discharges of up to 1 minute and up to 20 times capacity for instantaneous diesel engine starts. SRX provides also energy for backup applications. Features & Benefits Ensures power is available for engine starting even at extremely low temperatures Flexible single-cell designs keep down overall cost and provide up to 15 years’ service life through solid construction, large electrolyte reserves and advanced plate design Technical Specifications Operating temperature rangefrom - 20°C to + 50°C Low-maintenance: 2-year intervals between topping-up with water Optional water filling vents allow for quick and accurate topping-up to minimize maintenance costs
