New Altech product replaces traditional battery-based back-up systems

Altech’s new Ultra Capacitor Modules DC/UPS can be used in place of a battery system to ensure DC back-up power.

Altech Corp has released a new product that will change the future of DC back-up power. Altech’s Ultra Capacitor Modules DC/UPS can be used in place of a battery system to ensure back-up power. They are DIN-Rail mountable, virtually maintenance free, and carry none of the hazards of a battery. Voltages include 12-V and 24-V DC from 1,000 to 10,000 watts of energy in a standard unit. Extension modules are available to provide even more energy if needed.

Altech’s Ultra Capacitor Modules also offer five times the lifespan of a traditional battery. This reliability makes the Ultra Capacitor Module a cost-effective choice to ensure that critical information and functions are available when supply voltage dips, sags, drops out, or surges.

Ultra Capacitor Modules are environmentally safe and can withstand a temperature range from -40ºC to 65ºC (-40ºF to 149ºF) without de-rating. Its double-layer construction adds an extra measure of strength and security to its operations. Since there are fewer parts, the Ultra Capacitor Module reduces installation and maintenance costs.

For DC back-up power requirements in industrial control cabinets, Altech’s DIN-Rail mountable Ultra Capacitor Modules are the ideal answer for stress-free power continuity.
