Product Profile

MICROTEX train lighting batteries for railway applications are manufactured in India by Mysore Thermo Electric Private Limited for over two decades. MTEPL has a well-established battery Division with fully equipped chemical and electrical Laboratory at Peenya in Bangalore.

MICROTEX Train lighting Batteries are made up of a number of cells of 2 volts each. The cells assembled in Molded Monoblock Hard Rubber containers are connected with welded joints made of lead alloy with an anti-corrosive coating. The Microporous Vent Plugs fitted to the cells prevent the spilling of the electrolyte

Constructional Features

	Each cell is assembled in Monoblock Hard Rubber container containing MICROTEX hi-performance tubular positive plates in premium Energy Bags Tubular Gauntlets, pastes negative plates manufactures under exacting control to withstand rough handling and electrically separated by high quality PE Separators.
	The tubular positive plates have specially designed spines cast from corrosion resistant lead antimony-arsenic 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, grater shock resistance and long life with excellent reserve capacity.
	The pasted negative, 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 microporous vent plugs prevent escape of electrolyte. The hard rubber top cover gives a perfect airtight sealing to the cell.
	MICROTEX train lighting cells are dry, uncharged and are low maintenance batteries.
