Battery launched

TENSOR xGEL has been tested in field trials with industrial trucks used in the food, chemical and furniture industries, against standard flooded EPzS batteries and EPzV gel batteries. The company says TENSOR xGEL can reduce energy consumption and increase working hours and running time in various applications.

Since it uses dryfit technology, there is no need for a complex infrastructure for water refilling. Also, there is said to be less risk of downtime caused by incorrect battery handling.

Dr. Kai Ruth, GNB Industrial Power Senior Product Manager, Motive Power, explains: “We have shown that the TENSOR xGEL can lower the Total Cost of Ownership for our customers. Those using opportunity charging within two-shift operations as well as outdoor or low temperature use will particularly benefit from TENSOR xGEL. We invite customers to contact us to determine if their application is one of the many which could benefit from this evolution in stored energy.”
