The Banner Group's Energy Solutions business unit has launched a

new high-performance battery series onto the market

The Banner Group's Energy Solutions business unit remains on an upward curve and has now further enlarged its portfolio with the launch of the new Traction Bull High Performance battery, which has been specially developed for demanding applications. This battery not only offers higher capacities and longer runtimes, but also impressive robustness and fast charging. Consequently, in combination with its clear focus on sustainability, Energy Solutions is setting new standards in the energy storage field.

Austria/Leonding, 12.11.2024. Energy Solutions is continuing its success story and tapping into new markets with highly innovative energy storage solutions. This fact is underlined by the unit’s strategic expansion into various international markets and the steadily growing demand for its customised solutions. Moreover, as Franz Märzinger, the Banner Group’s Head of Sales and Marketing, emphasises, ‘With the market launch of the Traction Bull High Performance battery, we are once again positioning ourselves as a pioneer in the field of high-quality traction batteries for challenging applications,’

Maximum energy efficiency and performance

As compared to batteries of conventional wet design, the Traction Bull High Performance offers a significant increase in performance. With higher capacities, longer running times and a faster charging capability, it represents the optimum choice for companies reliant upon maximum efficiency and productivity. In particular, this high-performance battery displays its full potential in intensive operating environments such as multi-shift operations, tractor use, narrow aisle applications (VNA) and seasonal demand peaks. Whether in cold stores, where constant temperatures are essential, or at airports and in other harsh environments, the Traction Bull High Performance battery can withstand even the most adverse conditions. Its high energy density and excellent discharge performance guarantee that sufficient power is constantly available, even during heavy-duty applications.

Technological innovations for outstanding performance

The technological refinements of the Traction Bull High Performance battery are evident in several of its features. Thin tube technology ensures that it offers exceptionally high energy density and outstanding discharge performance, which in turn enable intensive current requirements to be met. In addition, integrated carbon nanotube technology significantly increases charge absorption, provides short charging times and simultaneously reduces internal resistance. This combination secures improved energy efficiency and reduces the operating temperature, which in turn prolongs battery service life.

Optimised charging technology for multi-shift operations

The Traction Bull High Performance is ideal for intermediate charging and thanks to its fast-charging capability, offers a decisive advantage for multi-shift operation. Its capacity can be raised from 20% to 100% in only four hours and this ability to easily handle interim charging maximises both performance and efficiency. This represents a special advantage with regard to intensive applications such as automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) and other multi-shift operations for which downtimes must be minimised. Owing to this rapid charging function and reduced operating temperature, the cool-down time after charging is also reduced, which in many cases renders the purchase of a second battery unnecessary and thus provides companies with significant cost savings.

Sustainability as a guiding principle based on resource protection and recycling

Apart from its technological innovativeness, the Energy Solutions business unit attaches great importance to a responsible approach to the environment. Accordingly, in order to avoid additional land sealing in the region, during the construction of the unit’s location in Thalheim, Upper Austria a conscious focus was placed upon sustainability by means of carefully considered planning that foresaw resource conservation. The unit’s building also employs energy-saving LED lighting and environment-friendly district heating.

A further indication of the Banner Group's environmental awareness is the closed recycling loop used for its batteries. The highest collection rate of all recyclable goods is thus achieved and supported by an extremely well developed take-back network.

The bottom line: future-orientated and sustainably positioned

With the Traction Bull High Performance battery, the Energy Solutions business unit is setting new standards for powerful, robust and sustainable energy storage solutions. Indeed, as Franz Märzinger, explains, “This battery combines technological innovation, outstanding performance and a clear focus on sustainability. It is therefore the perfect solution for anyone seeking maximum efficiency and environmental consciousness. We take pride in bringing this innovation to the market, which simultaneously underlines Banner’s commitment to a sustainable future.”
