Latest battery technology
May 1st 2007

Narrow gauge industrial locomotive manufacturer Clayton Equipment has decided to specify Hawker batteries made by EnerSys as standard. Recent contracts include the supply of a fleet of locomotives used in the upgrade to the Waterloo and City line in London and two locomotives for use in a large mine in China.

The two 10 tonne locomotives for the mine in China have specially designed battery packs comprising 60 type 10PZB550 Hawker cells to provide 550 amp hour capacity. The batteries are banked to provide a 200V supply, much more than required for a conventional industrial product such as a fork lift truck.

The battery packs, controllers and other potentially hazardous electrical components are contained in special flameproof enclosures, this is designed to minimise the risk of any underground explosion.
