Exide Technologies has updated its Exide Premium range with a modern black design containing recycled components for reduced environmental impact.
The change will lead to savings of 2,700 tons of CO₂, 8 million litres of water and 1.2 million litres of crude oil in Exide’s manufacturing each year.
Slick new design
This battery design features a spilland spark-proof security lid with a double flame arrestor, providing the same safety level Exide offered with its previous design. An original equipment design, the company’s aftermarket customers can be reassured that it has passed the strict requirements of carmakers.
The design will be introduced to all of Exide’s top-of-the-line conventional batteries across its various product brands, comprising Exide Premium, Centra Futura, Deta Senator3, Sonnak Powerline, Fulmen FormulaXtreme, and Tudor High Tech.
Large reduction in environmental impact
Not just visually appealing, the use of recycled components will make a meaningful environmental impact. Stefan Stübing, President & Chief Executive Officer at Exide Technologies, commented, “We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact across our business, and we’re pleased that the new Exide Premium design is having such a large impact on these efforts. An annual 2,700 ton reduction in CO₂ is a major accomplishment, and we look forward to identifying further environmental savings in the future.”
Exide Premium features Carbon Boost 2.0, Exide’s proprietary application of carbon additives on the negative plates. This allows for up to two-times faster recharging than conventional batteries. Faster recharging enables higher average state-of-charge throughout battery life, reducing the risk of breakdown and extending battery lifespan. This battery is designed to withstand extreme temperature, power-hungry electrical equipment and intensive urban driving.
