Signalling

Marine signalling systems – from small location devices to large navigation and warning systems and lighthouses – are crucial to maritime safety. They demand a reliable power source at all times. Saft battery technology has been helping to save lives at seas for over 80 years.

Saft primary and rechargeable batteries are a critical element of many marine signalling applications that require:

• absolute reliability in remote, inaccessible locations
• very long service life
• minimal or zero maintenance
• low operational costs
• resistance to extreme climatic conditions and temperatures
• efficient back-up power for PV and windpower installations

 Battery solutions for small signalling systems

Saft rugged, reliable batteries ensure total security of power for small signalling systems including:

• Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs)
• Emergency Location Transmitters (ELTs)
• Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs),
• life jackets and life rafts
• Emergency and security systems.

Battery technologies include rechargeable Ni-Cd (VE, VRE), Ni-MH (VH) and Li-ion (MP, small VL) as well as primary lithium (LS/LST/LSG, LSH, LO/G, LM/M).

Battery solutions for large signalling systems and lighthouses

Saft SPL batteries are designed to meet the critical energy needs of large signalling systems such as:

• illuminated buoys
• beacons
• lighthouses.
