　　SAFT ULM(Ultra Low-Maintenance)Ni-Cd batteries

　　Description

　　Saft has developed the most advanced Ni-Cd technology for our ultra low-maintenance ULMbatteries 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.

　　ULMbatteries 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.

　　Saft Aviation industry

　　SAFT is a leading supplier of aviation industry batteries,specializing in providing advanced technology batteries for various civilian and military aircraft.SAFT batteries have unparalleled reliability and safety under various conditions,whether used as engine starting,emergency backup power,auxiliary power equipment power,or emergency system power(such as ejection seats&safety parachutes,smoke detectors&alarms,emergency locator transmitters).

　　The main battery plays an important safety protection role in the event of onboard power failure.These batteries mainly have the following two functions:

　　●Power supply for engine starting or auxiliary power units on the ground or during flight;

　　Emergency power supply in case of power generation system failure during flight.

　　SAFT has established a comprehensive network of subsidiaries and distributors for battery purchase,operation,and maintenance to support global aviation customers.Aircraft manufacturers and turbo aircraft operators on every continent choose SAFT as their battery partner.

　　Aerospace industry

　　Launch Vehicles-GEO,GSO,and MEO Satellites-LEO Satellites-Space Vehicles

　　SAFT began designing,developing,producing,and supplying onboard battery systems for satellites,launch vehicles,and other space vehicles over 40 years ago.For each project,our core requirements are high performance and overall reliability.

　　SAFT's clients are spread all over the world,including general contractors,telecommunications operators,and space agencies.What these institutions value most is that we have the most comprehensive knowledge of the chemical properties of all batteries,whether they are primary or rechargeable.

　　SAFT's unparalleled space shuttle technology heritage

　　SAFT's space battery uses lithium technology.Rechargeable technologies include Ni Cd,Ni-H2,and Li ion.

　　As a world leader in Li ion batteries for space,SAFT has achieved many renowned'firsts':

　　AGILE-the first LEO powered by MP lithium-ion batteries for space use

　　AVUM-the first lithium-ion battery used in the fourth stage of the European Space Agency's Vega launch vehicle

　　Calipso-the first satellite powered by lithium-ion batteries,LEO

　　GALILEO-the first permanent lithium-ion battery for MEO constellations

　　Syracuse IIIA-The first lithium-ion battery on a military GEO
