Newcastle Batteries Introduces Redesigned PowerSwap Nucleus

Newcastle Systems has introduced a redesigned version of its PowerSwap Nucleus classic lithium battery system that will make it easier for workers to push powered carts around warehouse and distribution center floors. The light lithium-ion batteries are easier to maintain and replace than the heavy lead-acid batteries typically encased in these carts.

Trojan Batteries

Trojan Batteries are renowned in the industry as being top quality deep cycle batteries. They are backed by impressive warranty periods that reflect the confidence that the manufacturer has in the product.

These batteries are perfect for golf carts, utility vehicles, marine, renewable energy, transportation, floor machines, cleaning machines and aerial work platforms. They offer superior power and longevity, as well as being durable and resistant to vibration, heat, and shock.

In order to get the best performance from your battery, it is important that you maintain it properly. Oftentimes, it is necessary to add a solution of baking soda and water to the electrolyte. It is also important to note that temperature will affect specific gravity (SG) readings. For every ten degrees above 80°F, add four points to the hydrometer reading. It is recommended that you temperature correct your SG readings on a regular basis.

PowerSwap Systems

PowerSwap batteries are swapped from the side of a vehicle, reducing cost and complexity compared to previous battery swap trials which required new, expensive swap stations. They use a BMS to open and close valves to regulate the temperature of the pack, safeguarding performance and promoting long life.

Powered by Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, the PowerSwap Nucleus is a powerful mobile workstation battery that provides quiet, seamless AC power to mobilize laptops and tablets along with small or mid-range barcode or inkjet printers and scanners for 8+ hours. It eliminates the need for expensive cable drops and dangerous extension cords allowing workers to slash time wasted walking back and forth to static printers and computers.

The battery can be replaced in 3 minutes or less – faster than fueling an average petrol car. Discharged batteries can then be stored in a charging station and charged harmoniously in a process similar to renewable energy storage, reducing peak load demands on the grid.

Lithium Ion Batteries

Despite their relative youth, lithium-ion batteries have become the dominant electrochemical storage technology in the world. These batteries have a high gravimetric and volumetric energy density, allowing them to power a wide variety of devices and vehicles. They are also capable of cycling at very high rates and can be stored for long periods of time.

However, they are sensitive to extreme temperatures, and their cells and packs degrade faster than other battery types. They also produce toxic gasses and are prone to thermal runaway, which can lead to fires or explosions.

Fortunately, Newcastle Systems’ redesigned PowerSwap Nucleus Classic Lithium Battery System is safe to use in warehouses and manufacturing facilities. With this system, employees can move about the facility while it powers their laptops, tablet computers, and wireless printers for 8+ hours at a time. In addition, the system is quiet and requires no maintenance. The system can also be easily repowered when needed.

Lead Acid Batteries

Lead acid batteries are one of the oldest battery technologies. They are inexpensive compared to lithium-ion batteries, and offer a range of different power capabilities suitable for a variety of applications. They are also highly resilient, withstanding cold temperatures and able to deliver high surge currents when needed. They are not affected by memory issues like nickel-cadmium batteries, and they can retain a relatively high level of charge when not in use.

Lead acid battery operation is based on the chemical reactions of lead and lead dioxide in an electrolyte solution of sulfuric acid. Each cell has a positive and negative electrode, and when the battery is discharged, electrons from the cathode are transferred to the anode, creating lead sulfate crystals.

Flooded lead acid batteries allow fluid in the form of hydrogen and oxygen gas to escape during charging, requiring periodic maintenance and a frequent “equalizing” charge at an optimal voltage. AGM (Absorptive Glass Mat) and gel cell designs, however, suspend the electrolyte inside of fibreglass mats, reducing maintenance requirements and providing faster charging and greater load current capacity.
