Description
A case set of lithium rechargeable batteries for road traffic lamps that can charge in situ within their robust carry case, with UK and in vehicle charging adapters a case can recharge up to 8 batteries at once with 2-3 hour period..
This is a combination of exciting products to bring to the traffic management workplace offering cost saving and green credentials to road traffic management operators.
Each battery has an micro C style adapter charging point with LED indicator status in the form of 4 bars that illuminate green when charging. When deployed the batteries have a power status button that can be pressed to assess battery charge status a feature rarely seen on the few rechargeable batteries currently available in a 4R25 format.
The case has a weather resistant charging point with UK adapter and in-vehicle adapter as standard. Mains charging can bring a full case of 8 batteries to full charge within 2-3 hours.
Each battery has its own charging point with a micro C style connector, however these cables are unique to the design and so in the event of theft batteries can only be charged with this proprietary cable, use of any other cable will render the battery unusable (ONLY USE CABLES AS SUPPLIED). We considered this a useful deterrent for opportunistic misappropriation and will not supply organisations who have not previously been supplied with this equipment.
Up to 500 recharges were specified as a minimum when these lithium batteries were designed, if you are replenishing disposable 4R25 batteries frequently i.e. 4 say times a month, within 3-4 months you have made a return on the rechargeable battery element of the kit with 6-7 months having paid for the battery charging case with accessories.
From this point forward your battery replenishment costs are as low as the recharge cost which can be measured in pennies. Everyone will have different ways of working out the cost of ownership differently but keeping it really simple here is an example not taking into account anything such as replacement costs through damage/loss etc…
If you are replacing a basic battery in a road lamp 4 times per month that’s £72.00 a year, over a 3 year period that’s £216.00, to keep 8 road lamps illuminated that is £1728.00 over a 3 year period.
A case set of rechargeable batteries with accessories in comparison is costing less than £350.00 over a 3 year period that is potentially saving of up to £1378.00.
It just makes sense to consider switching to a renewable form of power, it ticks the financials box and provides those green credentials expected of government based operations.
Add Solar Road Lamps to the Equation!
In co-ordination with the release of the rechargeable battery case set of 8 we have also released the new solar panel series of road lamps. A large solar panel augments the battery power supply, now you have a rechargeable battery gaining a significant amount of power for free during the summer months and that means longer periods between maintenance activities.
The cost saving scenario increases even more dramatically Click here for more information.

If you operatives are working on the motorways and highways consider PPE such as the LED illuminated belt harness, with independently operated Red LEDs on the rear and White LED’s to the front motorists and plant drivers can see which way your workers are facing read more here
