Tyco Electronics Unveils ELECTRO-TYTE Battery Stand

April 16, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

Tyco Electronics Power Systems (Dallas, TX) announced what is claimed to be the world's first flooded battery stand with integrated spill containment, the new ELECTRO-TYTE composite battery stand. The lightweight, thermoset composite stand is resistant to corrosion, chemicals and acid, and it is expected to last more than 70 years. It has been optimized for use with 1,680Ah and 4,000Ah flooded batteries.

The ELECTRO-TYTE battery features a proprietary design that combines lightweight building blocks and proven composite technology with an integrated spill containment system, which prevents hazardous contact with electrolytes and makes the cleanup of acid spills and the replacement of spill pans easy.

The ELECTRO-TYTE composite battery stand will be available in North America by summer 2002. Pricing starts at approximately $4,800 for a standard 48V configuration for 1,680Ah flooded batteries in a non-seismic application.
