Batteries are widely used for diesel locomotives for starting the engine. These batteries are provided with high-impact, heavy-duty, rib-reinforced and high-density containers and configurations. They are designed with a dead top shroud reinforcing ribs of additional height to protect vent caps. They are provided to work under high durable standards in extreme operating temperature environment.
They are made of non-porous plates, antimonial lead alloy casting and designed for maximum current carrying capacity. They come with heavy-duty copper inserted connectors, terminals and posts for reduced resistance and maximum current-carrying capability. The retainer and bottom often shield by a high porosity and perforated plastic envelope encasing positive plate and glass mat, preventing shorts and insuring maximum performance and life.
They often crafted with active material specially formulated and uniformly applied under rigid computer control to insure maximum efficiency and long battery life. They are available in spectrum configurations with differ in power frequencies.
