RT-Project Technologies included in Rostec is preparing for exports of domestically-built batteries that are resistant to vibrations, high temperature and even bullets. Partners from Africa, Asia and Middle East are interested in these products due to their high dependability in hot climate. The batteries are currently widely used on the Russian market, in particular, as part of equipment designed for special tasks in the most severe conditions.

RT-Project Technologies currently offer a wide of batteries, including those using EFB, AGM, AQUA AGM and AGEL technologies. EFB are wet-cell batteries that feature reinforced plates and other enhancements making the batteries discharge-resistant and fast-charging. AGM is a battery where electrolyte is bound in a special fiberglass “sponge”. Such battery is spill-proof, able to be mounted in any position, resistant to high differential temperatures and even to housing damage, including strike of bullets. AQUA AGM is a marine version of AGM designed specifically to withstand environmental factors such as sea water. In AGEL version, fiberglass mats are combined with special gel making the battery even more resistant to various aggressive environmental factors.

“The life of new products, ТОРВАТ AGEL batteries, offered by our partner is measured in a decade. Such batteries can be cut in half and will still maintain their charge. They can be shot through from small arms and will keep running. The battery family relies only on local components and allows for effective substitution of foreign AGM/GEL counterparts on the Russian market. Preparation for a launch of an export program to friendly countries in Africa, Asia and Middle East is currently underway. High reliability of the TOPBAT batteries in hot and dusty climate, insensitivity to unstable charging rate and long service life make them highly desirable in emerging markets. That is where uninterrupted power supply is required for base stations, data centers, solar and wind farms, and oil and gas field emergency systems,” said Vasily Zuikov, General Director of RT-Project Technologies.
