SAFT Battery – MSX 70

MSX, providing high power capability and cycling performance

High-power capability and high-cycling performance for railway backup and engine starting

Saft’s on-board solutions provide reliable power, reduced weight and volume of on-board components, low maintenance and improved battery efficiency to help train manufacturers and operators work more efficiently.

Saft’s MSX wide capacity range with its high power and energy capabilities provide both energy for backup applications and high power for starting diesel engines on locomotives and DMUs. These nickel-based batteries are ideal for modern electric trains such as tram-trains, trams, EMUs and high-speed trains, including the safety-critical demands of electromagnetic braking applications.
