Collaboration between two world leaders in battery technology promises to deliver higher performance batteries for the next generation of consumer electronics, such as mobile phones and laptops.
Product brochures featured on the CD-ROM include a general introduction to the Ni-Cd range as well as individual brochures on the L/M/H single cell range, Vantage low maintenance batteries and XHP low maintenance high performance batteries for engine start and UPS applications.
These can either be viewed on screen or printed off for future reference.
Application engineering software packages featured on the CD-ROM include both 'BattSize', which is designed to provide an instant battery calculation based on a customer's own application criteria for the range of Alcad Ni-Cd batteries, and the life cycle cost (LCC) program which enables the user to perform an analysis for various battery types.
The LCC approach goes beyond initial cost to consider the entire cost of ownership including transportation, installation, maintenance, testing and replacement, as well as administrative costs.
The Alcad CD-ROM is designed for use with PCs running Windows 95 or 98.
It is available free on request.
