Batteries
AEG Power Solutions has considerable in-house knowledge in
battery technology and is able to offer expert advice on the
specifying, selection, operation and testing of batteries.
Our total system solutions include a wide range of products
using lead acid and nickel-cadmium batteries in vented and gas
recombination technologies. Batteries can be supplied on racks
or inside cabinets which match the chargers and can be mecha-
nically coupled to the charger cabinet if necessary.
Replacement batteries can be supplied and installed by our
Global Service Team.
