Secure, reliable electric power is crucial for business continuity. If the main power supply to a building or plant fails, the owner or operator needs complete confidence in the performance and reliability of the vital emergency power system. The batteries that power utility meters and AMR (Automated Meter Reading) systems and back-up alarm systems must also provide secure, reliable operation over a long service-life.

Saft’s state-of-the-art nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) and lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable batteries are the ideal solution for emergency power back-up and generator starting applications. They are the vital last line of defence that can:

• support critical loads
• start alternative generators
• control the shut-down process
• safeguard computer data.

Reliable emergency power for your vital systems

It is essential that an emergency back-up system really works when it is needed. That makes long-term reliability far more important than any initial savings from a low-cost battery – especially considering the potential consequences, and costs, of failure.

Investment in a Saft battery back-up system is an effective insurance policy against power failure.
