NORTHSTAR BATTERY
Unique Dry Cell Battery with High Power Density (HPD) technology
 
NorthStar Batteries ("NSB") are commonly used for Telecommunication commercial & Industrial applications to meet network servers, heavy industrial machinery, trucks, Jet Skis, boats, generators and marine operations, military heavy vehicles (Tanks, field units etc) and other applications in demanding terrain & isolated environments like rural substations the NSB is the substitute for electric failure.
 
NorthStar Product Range
Industrial Applications : NSB40, NSB70, NSB75, NSB90
Telecommunication Applications : NSB60FT, NSB90FT, NSB100FT, NSB110FT, NSB170FT

NSBXX - XX refers to power capacity in Ah
FT - Front Terminal

Common applications for the NSB motor start are :

 
40
Passenger cars, signaling equipment, backup power systems & lighting, electric cars, small utility vehicles.
70
Buses, Trucks, Jet Skis, Motor boats, Cranes, Vans, Heavy equipment machinery.
90
Power supply for relays, SCADA systems & other monitoring devices in switchgear.
170
Alternate or Backup Power Supply for Substation Control Room, Battery Bank & Mobile Switchgear Units. Also for Lighthouses, Buoys, Beacons, etc.
Power requirement of application dictates type of battery to be used.
 
Comparison of NorthStar Dry Cell to regular Wet Cell
Dry Cell-High Purity Lead 99.99%
 
Wet Cell Lead Acid Battery
Fixed in ANY orientation and space   Only Right side up
Freight by AIR - non-hazardous
Recyclable - Does not explode/No spilling or leakage of acid
Fire Proof - can use near ammunition dumps / does not release any toxic gases / can be use in confined areas
  Cannot be air-freighted / explodes
Leaks liquids or spills / may cause explosive chemical reaction

Poorly packaged / Carcinogenic (Cancer causing) / Lawsuits for industrial accidents may be very costly
Fit and forget : absolutely NO Maintenance required. Service life extended to 5 years. ideal for rural & isolated areas.   Check and top up of battery water required periodically/ Normal usage about 1 year. Not practical for remote substations
Shelf life : 18 months and is pre-charged / will start immediately / battery charge sustained at 90% when not in use, jumpstarts and will sustain power and works as normal battery.   Most disconnect terminals if more than 2/3 days not in use/requires overnight charging

Battery drains to almost zero if vehicle not in use
Max 2-4 times jump start - battery is damaged and destroyed.
battery allows high duty multiple simultaneus usage - e.g. luxury cars with hi-fi, air-cond, heating systems and other electronics   Only for normal purposes and yet battery drains progressively with more and more applications attached.
Installation : works immediately, no charging required.   Needs overnight charge before installation for use.
 
Depth of Discharge (DoD)
Out-performs wet cells
 
Graph of depth of Discharge for Dry Cells vs. Wet Cells
*Higher Depth of Discharge corresponds to higher power delivered.
 
Other Technical Advantages
 
NorthStar uses proprietry High Power Density (HPD) technology which guarantees PREMIUM performance.
