Although crystalline solar power panels are often sold with 25- to 30-year lifespan guarantees, those 30-year-old modules won’t be performing as well as they did on Day 1. Performance declines as solar cells experience degradation due to unavoidable circumstances like UV exposure and weather cycles. Manufacturers realize this, so solar panels come with a power output or performance warranty that u...

From our long experience of providing industrial battery charger solutions to our customers and partners, we have seen that there are some basic questions that are always asked. Here we are sharing some of the common questions and their answers regarding the rectifier chargers for your convenience. How are “equalize”, “boost” and “fast charge” charging different? Each of these terms describes the ...

In the battery system industry, some companies provide charger and battery systems to smaller, mission-critical applications; for some years, it has been clear that reducing the impact of battery failure is the best way to increase the user’s overall system reliability. In contrast to power electronics that can achieve MTBF in the range of 1 million hours, all VRLA batteries will fail between “now...

In modern urban rail systems, the stability of trains depends on not just traction and signaling, but also the reliable operation of onboard auxiliary power systems. Onboard batteries, which power emergency lighting, control systems, communication devices, and doors, are critical to safe operations and passenger experience. Efficient and intelligent maintenance of these batteries is essential. Amo...
