pbq

The demand for pbq Lithium primary cells is increasing considerably

During the last year pbq noted the Lithium small portable battery  gamma to get more and more popular. This range is often used in critical applications and equipment. It is therefore well known in the medical sector, in the mining- and oil industry, in the military and in the security branch.

Especially the Li-SOCl₂ models ER14505, ER14250, ER26500 and the ER34615 are very popular; together with the Li-MnO₂ types CR14505 and CR26500.

The reason for the increase in market share in this segment is found in the strong price/quality ratio of the pbq product. The current economic situation forces R&D -and purchase departments to search for more economical alternatives, without giving in on the performance of their applications and pbq has the proper solutions for that quest.

The merits of a good VRLA battery are obvious for most battery users; longer service time and longer lifetime.

Although the influence is often underestimated, selecting the right charger is half the joy. Choosing the wrong charger can cause direct or indirect damage to the battery and shorten its lifetime.

In answer to continuous demand for more and longer lasting power

On February 1^st the pbq 230-12LL has been released for sales. This long life battery has a capacity of 230Ah and a nominal voltage of 12Volt.

The successful pbq Long Life gamma is very suitable for and used in Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS), renewable energy installations and other deep discharge, float or cyclic applications. The higher capacity types are also very suitable for maritime applications. Lately, an important increase of the demand for capacities over 200Ah were noted. The pbq 230-12LL answers to that demand.

One of the customers of PSE, AWaccu from Barendrecht in the Netherlands, is specialized in the maritime market. It's owner, Arie Westdijk, gives his comment on the expansion: "With this higher capacity I will be able to satisfy more of my customers".

Emergency protection for wind turbines guaranteed by pbq batteries

In a country such as China where economic growth is unprecedented, the demand for energy increases daily. It will continue to increase in the coming years; coal-fired power stations do not offer a future-proof solution for this demand. For this reason, China is investing in wind energy on a large scale. Unitron in Zeeland, the Netherlands, supplies all of the control equipment for the innovative direct-drive wind turbines made by Hunan Hara XEMC Windpower. This equipment guarantees not only constant 'power' and reliable supply to the grid, but also protects the turbines with various emergency circuits. In the event of a power failure, the emergency functions are powered by pbq battery packs made by Power Storage Europe BV in Haarlem.
