Exide Traction Battery Augmented Products Overview

Enhanced Connectivity, Electrolyte Management & Battery Protection

Exide Traction Battery Augmented Products are designed to complement compatible Exide traction batteries through improvements to electrical connections, electrolyte-water topping and insulation.

Bolt-On Connectors replace conventional welded connection architecture with removable connections incorporating brass inserts.

This construction simplifies replacement of connectors, take-offs and associated battery accessories while reducing wear at the terminal.

Bolt-On pillars work with technology grommets designed to address acid seepage, terminal corrosion and the effects of plate growth.

The Auto Fill system automatically manages topping of battery water to help avoid both under-watering and over-watering.

Automatic topping reduces dependence on manual filling and helps prevent contamination that can occur during manual maintenance.

Epoxy Coating provides an electrically insulating protective layer intended to reduce leakage current while remaining tough and semi-flexible.

Together, these technologies address three important areas of flooded traction battery operation: electrical connectivity, electrolyte management and insulation.

Exide Traction Battery Augmented Products Features

Three Technologies Supporting Traction Battery Operation

Bolt-On connection technology, automatic water topping and epoxy insulation address different areas of traction battery operation and maintenance.

Bolt-On Brass Insert Connections

Bolt-On terminals with brass inserts provide a removable electrical connection architecture for compatible traction batteries.

Serviceable Connector System

Connectors, take-offs and associated accessories can be removed and replaced without the welding process used by conventional weld-on terminals.

Technology Grommet Sealing

Grommets used with the Bolt-On pillars are designed to address acid seepage, terminal corrosion and the effects of plate growth.

Automatic Water Topping

Auto Fill automatically tops up the battery to support accurate electrolyte-water levels without routine manual filling.

Controlled Electrolyte Management

Accurate topping helps address under-watering while avoiding electrolyte overflow and dilution associated with over-watering.

Epoxy Insulation Coating

Tough, semi-flexible epoxy coating provides electrical insulation and protection against leakage current while tolerating substrate expansion and contraction.
