POWER & INFRASTRUCTURAL PROJECT RANGE
For the core industries, Exide has a standalone range of five standby batteries benchmarked to the highest international standards. Referred to as the “formidable five” in industrial circles, these are the top of the line.
- Exide Plante Batteries with Transparent SAN Container
- Exide TBS Tubular Batteries in Transparent SAN Container
- Exide SMF Powersafe VRLA Batteries
- Exide Tubular Batteries (both HDP and NDP) in PP & Transparent SAN Containers
- Exide Gel Tubular Batteries
These are the heart of core industries like Power, Oil & Gas, Steel, Cement, Telecom, Railways, Urban Metro, IT, Financial Institutions, and Non-Conventional Energy Systems.

Exide Tubular cells have built their reputation on their long standing ability to provide instant power to equipment. These batteries have excellent discharge performance, besides offering long and reliable service life. These are ideal for frequent charge/ discharge cycles and have low self-discharge, superior all round voltage profile and energy (Wh) output. These Tubular batteries recharge rapidly and have higher Ampere-hour and Watt-hour efficiencies. These batteries conform to IS 1651: 2013.
Exide Tubular batteries are ideal for cyclic applications and are very commonly used in Transmission & Distribution, Power, Cement, Steel, Oil & Gas and Petrochemical sectors.

GUARANTEED TECHNICAL PARTICULARS (GTP)
Product Catalogue

Exide Plante batteries use 99.99% pure lead in the positive plate and low antimony lead alloy in the negative plate. The absence of leachable impurities in the positive plate, along with stated technological innovations, ensure long life as also ruggedness under extreme conditions. This range of batteries can handle extreme temperatures. The Plante batteries have excellent discharge capabilities and can operate within a narrow voltage of charge-discharge. The distinctive, transparent SAN containers are easy to monitor visually. The health of the cell can be determined by checking the electrolyte level, the colour of the plates and the condition of the separators. The vent system ensures that physical measures, such as for specific gravity, can be measured with ease. By monitoring the specific gravity, one can know the state of charge of the battery.

VRLA RANGE – PPST & UPST
Exide Power safe VRLA Batteries have been developed by Exide R&D center, and are suitable for stationary applications in Indian conditions. The overall battery package is essentially directed towards attending to the inevitable rigorous environmental factors under which batteries are expected to perform in India. These include prolonged elevated temperature operation, frequent charge/ discharge cycles and occasionally deep discharges.
Power safe Batteries use a proprietary composition of lead calcium and tin alloy for the positive grid. Alloys based on calcium are inherently of low float current characteristics. The grid alloy per se leads to low float current and hence low water loss and oxygen recombination. This inherently means that heat evolution in lead Calcium system is low. This, together with better thermal management, allows the Exide VRLA batteries to perform better in extreme temperatures.
