Saft has developed the most advanced Ni-Cd technology for our ultra low-maintenance ULM® batteries for the aviation industry. With reduced maintenance needs and extended life, ULM® batteries deliver the industry’s lowest total cost of ownership (TOC) and meet more than 100 different qualification criteria.
ULM® batteries need to be maintained less than half as frequently as traditional batteries thanks to their plastic bonded electrodes. They are highly reliable and when maintained properly can have a life of up to 10 years thanks to their high-quality proprietary separator systems.
Features & Benefits
Industry lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Reduced maintenance and operating costs - A330 operators choosing the Airbus approved Saft ULM® batteries have extended their maintenance intervals from 1000 oph to 3000 oph
Long service life
Less weight means lower fuel consumption
Combination of Saft plastic bonded electrodes and superior separator systems reduce overcharge current.
The decrease in overcharge current results in a longer life even under the most difficult climates.
Temperature range from -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F).
Exceptional storage life: Long-term storage of up to 10 years without any intervention ever required
Zero maintenance cost during storage.
Easily replaceable spare parts with individual cell replacement
For new installations or retrofit solution: Form, Fit and Function interchangeable with standard high-performance products. No aircraft modification necessary, which allows for commonality between interchangeable components resulting in cost-effective inventory solutions
