Ferak Ni-Cd batteries for performance, reliability and versatility
Saft Ferak a.s. has over 60 years experience in the design, development, manufacture and through-life service support of nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) pocket plate cells and batteriesfor a broad range of railway and general industrial applications where reliability andoptimized life cycle costs are critical.
Saft’s commitment to research and development and innovative engineering ensures that Ferak batteries offer the very latest indesign, quality and industrial process technology. Ferak’s comprehensive service from initial consultancy to volume delivery coversevery requirement from supplying individual batteries for new-build and replacement contracts to managing major turnkey projectsfor fully integrated battery systems.
Comprehensive backup solutions for onboard and trackside signaling
Ferak Ni-Cd batteries provide effectiveonboard and trackside backup power tomeet the safety, security and reliabilitychallenges of today’s railway landscape.Onboard Ferak batteries support vitalservices such as lighting, data andcommunications systems, ventilationand door opening functions as well aselectromagnetic braking.Trackside Ferak Ni-Cd batteries ensuretotal reliability for signaling, levelcrossing and points operation, positivetrain control, security surveillance andtelecommunications equipment.
Reliable and robust batteries forbackup power in stationary applications
Power continuity is absolutely vital for a wide variety of stationary applicationssuch as Uninterruptible Power Supply(UPS) systems, substation switching andtransmission functions, emergency andsecurity systems, industrial fire monitorsand alarms, data centers, process controlinstallations and signaling systems. If themain power source is lost, Ferak backupbatteries support critical systems untilprimary power can be re-established or a controlled shutdown is carried out.
High power for even the most demanding applications
Ferak batteries supply high power fordemanding critical backup applications.For locomotives and DMUs they deliverexceptionally high cranking currentsthat ensure fast and reliable enginestarting, especially in ‘no-idling’operations where train operators requirefrequent stopping and starting to savefuel and reduce noise while cuttingemissions to reduce their CO2 footprint.

As part of this environmentalcommitment, Saft prioritises the use ofrecycled raw materials over virgin rawmaterials in all manufacturing processes.We also strive, year on year, to reduce airand water emissions from our plants, aswell as minimizing water usage, reducingconsumption of fossil energy consumptionand associated CO2 emissions, andensuring that all our customers haveaccess to recycling solutions for their
spent batteries. To facilitate the end-of-lifecollection and recycling of industrialbatteries, including our nickel & lithium-based technologies, Saft has developedwell-established partnerships withcollection companies in most EUcountries, in North America and in manyother countries worldwide. This collectionnetwork receives spent batteries from ourcustomers and dispatches them to fullyapproved recycling facilities, in compliance
with the laws governing trans-boundarywaste shipments. This collection networkis currently undergoing minor adaptationsto meet the requirements of the EUbatteries directive. A list of our batterycollection points is available on our website. In other countries, Saft will assistanyone using our batteries in findingenvironmentally sound recycling solutions.Please contact your sales representativefor further information.
Saft is committed to the highest standards of environmental stewardship
