How do I choose a good mining locomotive battery?

Choosing a good mining locomotive battery can be a complex process, as there are many factors to consider. Some important considerations include the battery’s capacity, voltage, and chemistry, as well as its durability and ability to withstand harsh mining conditions.
When choosing a mining locomotive battery, it is important to consider your specific needs and requirements, such as the type of mining operation you are running and the amount of power required to operate your equipment. You should also look for batteries that are designed specifically for use in mining applications, as these will typically be more durable and reliable than standard commercial batteries.

Some other factors to consider when choosing a mining locomotive battery include its weight and size, its charging time and cycle life, and its cost. It may be helpful to consult with a knowledgeable supplier or manufacturer who can help you select the right battery for your needs based on your specific requirements and budget.

Designed by Dr Wieland Rusch of Germany – Manufactured with precision and pride in India, we make complete Mining batteries and all its components in house ensuring a high level of quality without having to depend on outside vendors.

Microtex 2v mining battery is made from completely formed plates; & not green plates, formed after assembly. This is to eliminate any chance of unformed active material in the electrodes.

How long do Mining locomotive battery last?

Special designer lead alloys, with super additives, tin, low-antimony, arsenic, ensuring a really long life for your Microtex Limitless™ Mining Locomotive battery. In addition, we add nucleating agents like selenium,  sulfur & copper to ensure the lead electrodes do not corrode for a long time, ensuring a very long life. The addition of nucleating agents gives the grids a fine-grained structure with good corrosion resistance as otherwise, the coarse dendritic structure will be prone to hot cracking and porosity.

Battery Mistakes All Mining locomotive Battery Owners Need To Avoid!

Do not mix new cells into old batteries

Mining locomotive Battery recondition: often reconditioning an old battery can become quite a costly affair if you keep replacing dead cells one by one; even the new cell will drain out rapidly as the old cells tend to draw more out of the new one. 

Mining locomotive replacement batteries: It is best to have an expert from the company visit you to have a thorough inspection of the Mining locomotive battery after a complete charge, compare the cell voltage, specific gravity

Avoid any sort of additives or desulfation methods

How to recondition Mining locomotive batteries? Batteries are electro-chemical devices. All chemicals have a half-life period beyond which regeneration with chemical additives or desulfators for batteries have little effect if any temporary. 

The normal mode of failure of Mining locomotive batteries is usually due to grid corrosion if the lead alloys are not designed properly. Desulfators cannot repair corroded grids.
