Traction Batteries

ORC battery cells may be recharged intermittently for short periods (15 – 60 minutes) during the operating shifts, at normal current or high current (up to 0.4C Amps), followed by a full normal recharge at end of shift.
Replace regular lead-acid traction batteries in same tray size, without adding any ballast.
Existing battery charger can be used or a higher rated one up to 0.4C Amps (40A per 100AH) for rapid opportunity charging (15-60 minutes).
Extended operating time using a single battery with intermittent opportunity rapid chargers.

Features

Standard PzS design with round tube positives manufactured with a more robust process.
ORC batteries are equipped with more robust negatives which enables the batteries to take full advantage of fast opportunity and normal opportunity charging capabilities.
Our ORC is air agitation equipped to maintain cooler battery & better charging capabilities.
Comes in bolted connection with thicker flexible cable connectors.
Special TPE twin molded post seal to avoid leakage and accommodate all connectors.

An opportunity rapid charge battery enables the user to charge the battery in between breaks at a high current in order to receive more energy throughput before the battery is put on full charge. The major difference between opportunity rapid charging and opportunity charging is that in case of ORC (opportunity rapid charge), the charging current is considerably higher (maximum of 40% of rated Ah). This allows the user to pump in more energy in a PSOC battery in a short time thus getting a higher energy throughput after every charge while compared to a normal opportunity charged battery.
