Energel Batteries from Battery Energy using revolutionary SuperGel long life plate technology have been designed specifically for standby applications. The Energel Battery is designed for low maintenance standby applications where it is kept on a float charge and is ready for instantaneous use whenever there is a power system failure.

Traditional battery technology, which was developed in Europe and North America, operates most efficiently in colder climates. Industry practice is to halve the stated design life of a battery with every 10º C increase in average operating temperature. These technologies are not necessarily suited to warmer climatic environments.

When the CSIRO and Battery Energy developed Supergel technology, they focused on developing a product with superior life characteristics. The SuperGel battery technology is based on unique chemical and molecular characteristics and differentiated production techniques compared to regular gel batteries. This is characterised by features such as very low float currents, high efficiencies etc.

The superior life characteristics apply both to the performance of the battery under varying extreme climatic conditions and it’s robust construction that allows it to withstand both electrical abuse as well as vibration and physical abuse during transport, installation and operation.

Standby applications usually support mission critical services or critical elements of revenue generating technology. To deliver a highly reliable service with a long operating life requires a unique blend of physical, structural and chemical characteristics.

For this reason Energel is possibly the worlds leading standby battery.
