50% faster charging from new gel-based batteries

THE NGEL Bloc technology is said to deliver maintenance-free performance. QUASAR Gel Bloc harnesses carbon nanotube technology to deliver high run time, fast re-charge and longer cycle life. 

QUASAR Gel Bloc needs no maintenance, no topping up and can be opportunity charged with no risk of damage. As a result, it is making major inroads in applications such as large trade/retail outlets, manufacturing, distribution, food and beverages, facilities/hospitality, and warehousing centres, along with a host of other locations where immediate and non-stop availability is essential.

Triathlon Battery Solutions UK managing director Tom Burgess says: “For the customer, that translates into 25% greater run time than traditional gel batteries with the same footprint. It also means recharge times are cut by up to 50%, significantly reducing running costs and capital investment in spare batteries and chargers.

“The secret lies in next-level technology employing patented nanotube fluid in a unique battery pasting process along with market-leading phenolic resin separator. The result is greater strength, greater thermal operating ranges and excellent resistance to oxidation. 

“Boasting high energy density that eliminates power drop-off on ramps and loading bays, the QUASAR Gel Bloc is also at home in extreme ambient temperatures, ensuring it will work outdoors in all weathers and at all times of the year with no deterioration in performance.

“Customers are switching to QUASAR Gel Bloc for many different reasons, but the real drivers are the competitive price, the total removal of any maintenance, and the extremely long lifecycle: typically 1500 cycles or 3 to 5 years.”
