Exide Technologies, a global provider of stored electrical energy solutions, will showcase its latest GNB-branded Motive Power products at the upcoming CeMAT 2016 in Hannover. The company’s presence at the trade show will center on the theme, “Powering the World Forward,” demonstrating how its latest battery and charging solutions help customers to significantly improve operating efficiency.
Exide will present GNB Sonnenschein Lithium, which is used today in large distribution centers, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), hybrid cruise ships and other demanding applications, helping companies to reduce costs and improve operations. The technology allows forklifts to operate 24/7 on the same battery, with just short bursts of recharging while workers take breaks. With the launch of new 80V Sonnenschein Lithium batteries, large counterbalance forklifts can also now benefit from the technology.
GNB’s hotly anticipated TENSOR xGEL is available for customer field trials. It combines the high performance and fast recharging properties of TENSOR with the zero-maintenance benefits of Sonnenschein Gel. Thus, GNB TENSOR xGEL is a strong match for standard traction batteries across every benchmark, according to Exide, with the additional advantage of being completely maintenance-free. At CeMAT, the company will present a key breakthrough – the battery can now reliably power industrial trucks in two-shift applications. Full recharge in 8 hours and opportunity charging is made possible by using the company’s 2100 HP Charger together with its proprietary X-profile charging regime.
CeMAT will take place from May 31 to June 3 in Hannover, Germany, with this year’s event titled “Smart Supply Chain Solutions.” Exide will be in Hall 26, Stand D24, in the MOVE & LIFT section. The stand will offer free “power ups” with snacks and refreshments and a secured mobile phone recharging station. Visitors are invited to a stand party starting at 6 p.m. on June 1, featuring a DJ, salsa dancing show, food and drinks.
