Product Profile

MICROTEX lead acid Diesel Loco Starter batteries are manufactured by our associated company Mysore Thermo Electric Private Limited. The unit has a well established modern battery manufacturing facility with a fully equipped chemical and electrical laboratory.

MICROTEX Diesel Loco Battery is made up of 4 cells of 2 Volts each. The cells assembled in either Molded Monoblock Hard Rubber containers or Plastic Containers housed in a Sturdy and Rugged FRP Tray are connected with welded joints made of lead alloy with an anti-corrosive coating. The Microporous Vent Plugs fitted to the cells prevent the loss of electrolyte.

Constructional Features

Each cell assembled in either Monoblock Hard Rubber container or Rugged FRP Tray, containing microtex hi-performance tubular positive plates in premium Energy Bags Acrylic Tubular gauntlets, pasted negative plates manufactured under exacting control to withstand rough handling and electrically separated by high quality PE Separators.

The tubular positive plates have specially designed spines casts from corrosion resistant lead antimony-selenium alloy ensconced in tabular bag which is vibro-filled with active material and pickled, thus ensuring high-rate discharge, more capacity for a given volume, greater shock resistance and long life with excellent reserve capacity.

The pasted negative plates, made up from a blend of oxide, special additives and expanders, aid in cell longevity.

The high quality PE separators provide high electrical insulation between the plates with low internal resistance for improved battery performance.

Short-circuit between plates due to sediments is avoided by the use of sediment spacer at the bottom of the container on which the plates rest.
The Micro porous vent plugs prevent loss of escape of electrolyte. The hard rubber top cover gives a perfect air-tight sealing to the cell.
MICROTEX lead acid Diesel Locomotive Batteries are low maintenance batteries.
