Description
SAFT Batteries SRM+ 40
Ensuring long-term total reliability in high energy railway backup applications

SRM+ is the latest in a generation of field-proven batteries with more than 20 years of service and millions of track kilometers. The range provides total reliability for high-energy backup applications that demand ‘M’-type performance including: passenger safety and comfort (lighting, door control, ventilation, communications, etc.) and fail-safe electronic systems start-up.

The nickel-based SRM+ provides a compact and cost-effective solution that is ideal for all types of urban, regional and intercity rolling stock.

Features & Benefits
  • Reduced operating costs throughout the battery’s long life
  • Single cell design offers a high level of flexibility in configuring the battery system
  • Outstanding chargeability over an extended temperature window
  • High performance, reliability and a 15-year plus service life in a fully recyclable package with the same installation footprint as a block battery
Technical Specifications
  • Capacity range from 40 to 360 Ah
  • Wide operating temperature range from – 20°C to + 50°C
  • Fast recharge – 90% capacity achieved in 5 hours for rapid return to service
  • Lower water consumption for optimized maintenance intervals
Saft SRM nickel-based rail batteries – key benefits
  • SRM cell’s sintered/PBE design enables batteries to be some 20 percent smaller and lighter than conventional batteries of similar performance.
  • Extremely reliable, even when subjected to extreme temperatures and heavy vibration.
  • Does not suffer the ‘sudden death’ failure that can afflict lead-acid batteries, and can provide a long service life of up to 15 years.
  • No special attention required between normal rolling stock maintenance examinations – topping up with distilled water is only required at two-year intervals.
  • No need to change the electrolyte during the battery’s lifetime.
