Reconditioning of battery systems

We make the most of your circumstances

 

By sustainability, we mean considering the end in everything we do. Batteries are the driving force in the train or locomotive and provide mobility. This does not always require a completely new battery.

By refurbishing and reusing batteries, we actively contribute to environmental protection, avoid waste and conserve our natural resources.

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the performance of our highly qualified team, which maintains and reconditions your batteries according to the latest technical standards. The batteries go through an elaborate reconditioning process. Depending on the age and condition of the battery, a partial or full refurbishment is carried out.

During full reconditioning, we achieve capacities in accordance with the requirements of EN 60254 and 43 539-1 as well as complete conformity with new batteries in terms of function and electrical properties - so that you have fully functional batteries with tested quality at your disposal.

PERFECTLY FUNCTIONING RECONDITIONED BATTERIES -
A REAL ALTERNATIVE TO A NEW BATTERY.

This is how we protect our environment and help our customers to act economically.
