Use of high efficiency class-approved batteries can lower substitute expenses & & enhance security
As an outcome of researches right into using emergency situation as well as back-up batteries on ships, The Furukawa Battery Co.,Ltd (Furukawa Battery) as well as Eco Marine Power Co.,Ltd (EMP) revealed today that they have actually released a solution to assist ship proprietors lower battery substitute expenses. This solution called the Ship Battery Replacement as well as Management Service will certainly additionally lower waste, lower the work for the staff as well as assistance enhance security.
During the previous couple of years Furukawa Battery as well as EMP have actually been accepting the growth of renewable resource options for ships as well as have actually collectively taken on a variety of tasks to examine as well as carry out aquatic solar energy options. During these tasks class-approved batteries were mounted, nevertheless it ended up being apparent that there was range to make use of battery modern technologies from Furukawa Battery for various other applications on-board ships.
The FCR collection batteries as an example are preferably matched for 24 VDC emergency situation back-up battery financial institutions as well as because of their long-life qualities they do not require to be changed as frequently as numerous batteries presently being made use of for this objective. Additionally they more than 90% recyclable as well as consequently they are an eco-friendly choice also. The FCR collection are a risk-free, trusted as well as simple to mount power storage space choice as well as have remarkable efficiency qualities when contrasted to various other comparable battery modern technologies. They additionally provide clients a much less difficult option to lithium-ion batteries. Other class-approved battery kinds readily available consist of the UltraBattery ®, FCP as well as FC collection.
As component of the Ship Battery Replacement as well as Management Service, Furukawa Battery as well as EMP will certainly evaluate the mounted batteries on a fleet basis as well as give suggestions to deliver proprietors or ship supervisors relating to substitutes or upgrades. Details relating to just how a screening strategy can prolong the life of the mounted batteries will certainly additionally be consisted of. In enhancement recommendations relating to security or storage space concerns will certainly be highlighted.

Clearly if emergency back-up batteries fail then this is a serious safety issue and these problems can be prevented via our new service.”
In enhancement to suggesting as well as providing substitute batteries, Furukawa Battery as well as EMP can set up to provide booster cable collections, battery spacers, battery framework sets as well as battery examination systems.
