Choosing the correct battery for an engine starting application is essential in critical situations in industry, hospitals, buildings, the financial sector and the military. To assist this choice, Industrial Batteries (UK) Limited (IBLUK), has introduced new documentation and a dedicated web page for engine starting battery applications.
Engine starting generator systems have not fundamentally changed over the years and are designed to give high reliability and long life. It is, therefore, important that all the components in the application should be able to support these requirements and it is implicit that the starter battery is critical for the achievement of a successful system.
The Engine Starting web page on the IBLUK site gives an overview of the application and has downloads of a more detailed explanation of the application and battery choice and an application questionnaire. The questionnaire is designed to identify items such as the type of charging method, which can have a marked affect on the battery choice. The company also offers, on request, a more detailed briefing note on the sizing considerations for engine starting batteries.
IBLUK are a UK company specialising in industrial nickel-cadmium batteries and support and are able to offer a range of high performance batteries for engine starting applications. In addition to assisting the customer in his choice of battery and battery stand, it can also offer an extensive selection of approved accessories, a technical consultancy service, user training and a battery replacement and recycling service
