EnerSys Launches EcoSafe Batteries For Renewable Energy Generation Apps
Reading PA (SPX) Oct 06, 2008 EnerSys has significantly broadened its product support for the fast growing renewable energy market with the recent launch of its EcoSafe product line. EcoSafe batteries, which use lead, nickel and lithium technologies, were developed specifically for renewable energy storage applications, including solar, wind turbine and other electricity-generation alternatives. "EcoSafe batteries are important for EnerSys," said John D. Craig, chairman, president and chief executive officer of EnerSys. "They strengthen our position as a global leader in energy storage and position us at the center of an important and emerging sector of this market. The strong links that we have forged already with the renewable energy industry will help ensure that we continue to develop the technologies and the products needed for the future." EcoSafe products include an enhanced line of lead chemistry batteries, as well as batteries that employ nickel and lithium technologies. EcoSafe batteries offer a selection of energy storage solutions designed to meet the requirements of the latest renewable power-generating operations. This year, EnerSys is investing in its worldwide manufacturing facilities to expand capacity of lead-based products, including its proprietary thin plate pure lead (TPPL) technology. Recent investments also led to new developments in nickelbased products for solar and wind turbine applications and developments in new lithium-based solutions. These investments resulted in the acquisition and utilization of a comprehensive range of technologies, with particular attention paid to battery chemistry, manufacturing processes and quality control. "We are seeing a broadening interest in all major energy storage technologies for renewable applications," Craig said. "Our products and solutions are experiencing increased interest in a variety of applications from our customers, who are demanding more and larger energy storage components to make solar, wind turbine and other alternative electricity generation more productive for both in-grid and off-grid systems. "We expect considerable growth for lead, nickel and lithium technologies and are committed to supplying solutions to meet our customers' growing needs. Our sales for renewable energy storage will be presented as focused solutions in the expanding EcoSafe product line." Related Links EnerSys Powering The World in the 21st Century at Energy-Daily.com
