NEW PRODUCTS
A new range of AES range of batteries is available in the UK from DC Battery Technologies
The new AES range offers fast charging, an extensive cycle life and partial state of charge (PSoC) operation to reduce sulphation. The batteries are suitable for off-grid energy applications including marine uses and electric vehicles where back-up power is required.
“Renewable energy is one of the sectors that is really embracing new battery technology and these AES solutions are specifically designed for use in solar, renewable, wind and hybrid energy applications,” said Stuart James, DC Battery Technologies MD. “With their rapid charging and PSoC functionality, organisations in the renewable energy sector can rely on AES for back-up power solutions to maximise uptime and extend cycle life.”
The AES series of sealed AGM batteries can be charged at 0.6 C10 which means that the batteries can be charged in less than an hour when they are discharged down to 50% stage of charge (SoC).
New compact battery from Mastervolt
The new MLI Ultra 1250 is the most compact battery in Mastervolt’s range offering five times more energy storage and 70 percent more space and weight savings compared to traditional lead acid batteries.
The MLI Ultra 1250 has a lifespan of 3500 cycles and a depth of discharge (DOD) of 80 percent due to the nearly complete absence of self-discharge and the minimal build-up of the ‘memory effect’. As with the entire MLI Ultra series, the MLI Ultra 1250 can be recharged within 60 minutes.
Electrification for Mercury
The Avator outboard is the first step towards the company’s formal release of five electric outboard products scheduled for later this year and into 2023.
“We are excited to formally announce this bold new phase of our vision for the future that only Mercury Marine can deliver,” said Chris Drees, Mercury Marine president. “Electrification is strategically important
to us, and this concept provides a first look at how we intend to deliver on our commitment to being the industry leader in both internal combustion products and electric propulsion. We are taking efficiency to a new level, opening up new ways to enjoy the boating experience.”
The engine is widely expected to be a low to mid horsepower motor with Mercury’s Avator outboard motor
features such as swappable batteries and enhanced portability. It is understood the cowling will open up to expose the removable battery pack. The batteries can be switched on the go or removed for charging or storage.
“At Mastervolt, we’re committed to designing and innovating the next generation of Lithium-Ion batteries and alternative energy sources,” said Brett Dibkey, President of ASG. “The official launch of the MLI Ultra 1250 represents an exciting milestone in our path to lead the industry in this effort, and we’re thrilled to bring this revolutionary design to market.”
