The Saft Matrics (*) MRX Ni-Cd battery range is compact block for medium power performances, according to IEC 60623 classification. MRX range has been designed to provide the perfect performance rail battery solution for a variety of on-board functions:

• Auxiliary backup: lighting ventilation, air-conditioning, communication, computing, door control…
• Train setup
• Raise of pantograph

MATRICS: MAss Transit & Rail Integrated Compact System

Main applications

• Metros
• LRV (Light Rail Vehicles)
• EMUs (Electric Multiple Units)

• Electric locomotives
• High speed trains

• Very low weight and minimal dimensions
• Low LCC (Life Cycle Cost) and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
• Field proven reliability and safety
• Low maintenance (2 years interval between topping up with water)
• Very efficient chargeability even at low temperature
  

Matrics MRX batteries can be used to create complete battery systems comprising:

• Cells (for energy storage) together with integrated water filling system
• Electrical systems: such as interfaces, chargers, fuses…
• Mechanical systems: such as a rail mounted sliding tray for easy train’s integration

A complete range of 9 standard rail battery systems is available.

Compact sintered / PBE: well-proven sintered positive electrode plus a compact plastic bonded negative electrode (PBE).

Rated capacities from 70 Ah up to 520 Ah.

MRX batteries are available in blocks of 1 to 10 cells depending on capacity, running in parallel or series. Flame retardant container.

MRX meets and often exceeds the specifications of all major international shock, vibration and electrical standards: IEC 60623/UIC 854, IEC 61373, EN 50155, NFF 60022, IEC 60077.
