Nickel batteries for instant, robust, reliable and long-lasting power

Mining, cement, chemical and paper-pulp plants are just a few that need constant power to remain safe and keep plant operational. Our robust nickel batteries provide immediate backup power, protecting plant, production and staff as well as ensuring emergency lighting, security and fire protection. Customers around the world entrust their process control, pumps, distribution, gas turbines, emergency lighting and security systems, industrial fire monitors and alarms to Saft in the event of a power failure. Our high-performance nickel batteries also ensure the continuity of critical loads for switchgears' electrical circuit protection and switch tripping, engine starting for emergency power generation and SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition).

Saft's nickel battery solutions are very robust, offer easy installation and optimized availability. Unlike lead-acid batteries, which are prone to sudden death, they are extremely reliable and long-lasting, with a life expectancy of more than 20 years. They are also maintenance free* and can withstand high temperatures without degrading.
