Rail & Public Transport Batteries

Rail and transport infrastructure uses several battery technologies, depending on the application. For rack mounted installations such as telecoms cabinets, signalling rooms and control panels, front terminal VRLA batteries (UFT and UFTG series) are widely chosen for their compact design, ease of access and reliable performance. For extended service life and long duration standby power, the UXL long life range and the UZS and UZV tubular ranges provide durable, stable performance in harsh environments. UZS and UZV have a design life of 20 years. For high rate discharge duties such as safety critical signalling and emergency systems, the UHR high rate series delivers rapid, dependable power. Where equipment is exposed to elevated ambient temperatures, the UHT and UHTFT high temperature series are engineered to hold service life in demanding climates. UHT batteries are rated for discharge from -15°C to 70°C. Where cycling efficiency matters, for example in hybrid rail energy systems, regenerative braking or renewable powered auxiliaries, the UPLCFT Pure Lead Carbon series is designed for partial state of charge operation and fast recharge. The UPLFT Pure Lead series suits float duty in control centres and substations, with a design life of 20 years. For projects that need higher energy density, the ULIT and ULIT-R lithium ranges provide reduced maintenance and long cycle life, particularly for rolling stock auxiliaries and remote transport infrastructure. Across all ranges, every Ultracell battery is manufactured under ISO 9001 certified quality management and ISO 14001 certified environmental management, supporting long term reliability, safety and consistency for rail and transport operators worldwide.

Ultracell batteries provide stable, dependable backup power for signalling, communications and onboard systems, keeping safety critical functions operational during outages. This helps maintain passenger safety and service continuity, and supports compliance with transport safety requirements.

Yes. Ultracell ULIT and ULIT-R LiFePO₄ solutions are increasingly adopted for rail and transport systems. High energy density, fast recharge and extended cycle life suit compact installations, remote systems and rolling stock applications, where weight, efficiency and reduced maintenance are key advantages for operators and integrators.
