In remote locations, lead acid batteries power railroad crossing signals and instruments that measure seismic disturbances for earthquake research and can store electricity generated by solar panels or wind power.
First National Battery offers a comprehensive range of batteries suitable for signaling applications. The range includes the following products:
| Product Range |
Summary |
Flat Plate |
| Increased capacity, combined with decreased volume and weight. Life expectancy of around 15 years. Float-charge operation, always ready for use. |
|
Planté |
| Ease of inspection, testing and maintenance (a hydrometer reading indicates the state of charge). Lower internal resistance which provides increased performance at high rates of discharge. No falling-off of capacity with age. Life expectancy of 20 years or longer. Designed for float-charge operation, always ready for use. |
|
