Alcad, working with the distributor Al-Dhow Engineering, has successfully completed a major project to upgrade the backup batteries at 325 substations operated by Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW).

Tests on industrial nickel cadmium battery recovered from a time capsule at an old Alcad factory in the UK show it can still deliver more than 50 percent of its original capacity

Slim nickel cadmium battery has the same form factor and simple charging characteristics as valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries with higher reliability, longer life and maintenance-free features

High-performance nickel cadmium battery systems ensure continuity of power for uninterrupted care of important patients at Thailand’s leading hospital

Appointing backup power specialist Norco as Alcad’s UK Service Centre will help North Sea oil and gas operators to keep control of maintenance and asset replacement budgets 

The batteries are built to withstand the desert heat, therefore ensure a high level of resilience for equipment in the Dukhan Gas Field.

They are combined with solar photovoltaic modules to protect the integrity of gas wellhead casings.

Alcad has won a competitive tender to provide the batteries installed at Megalopolis B power station thanks to Alcad’s reputation for high quality and reliability in Greece

Alcad Vantex nickel technology batteries have provided a cost-effective, maintenance- free alternative to VRLA (valve regulated lead acid batteries) for critical UPS systems

New rack design to house Vantex maintenance free batteries makes use of space formerly needed for maintenance access

Offshore Oil field UZ750 contract in Abu Dhabi is the largest single contract in Alcad’s history. Multi-million euro contract covers the supply of over 15,000 maintenance-free cells adapted for demanding conditions in remote locations.
