Exide Technologies has expanded its Marine & Leisure Equipment Li-Ion range with six new batteries, which covers most applications within the marine and leisure market.
This includes boats, caravans and motorhomes, and all offer “strong levels of safety, performance and a prolonged lifespan”.
One of the ‘smart features’ is an intelligent heating function; users will no longer need to remove the battery from its original source and store it in a warm location until it’s heated up sufficiently before recharging. Instead, even if the temperature dips as low as -20°C, the battery will heat itself and automatically recharge once the temperature reaches 0°C.
This also keeps the overall recharge time short: from -20°C and with just 10% of power, the battery will take just four hours (one hour of heating) to complete a standard recharge.
The Bluetooth function runs parallel with Exide’s expanding digital strategy. By downloading the Exide-exclusive ‘M&L Li-Ion Monitor’ app, users will have complete control of either one or multiple batteries’ key features and performance levels, particularly helpful if batteries are installed in difficult-to-reach places.
