French battery manufacturer ARTS Energy will be presenting its new generation of nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries for professional autonomous solar energy solutions and backup applications at the annual World Future Energy Summit International and Water Summit (IWS) trade fair which runs from January 15 to 18 in Abu Dhabi.

The new Ni-MH batteries are exceptionally robust in very warm environments (up to 85°C) and boast a 10-year lifetime when used in outdoor applications in the Middle East, said the company in a statement.

Ni-MH is particularly well suited to autonomous solar applications in the Middle East (solar street lights, road and urban Signage, etc), which are very demanding, it stated.

But this new generation of batteries also performs extremely well in backup applications (eg: telecom), as well as applications involving a high number of cycles (eg: daily battery use to reduce main grid electricity bills, data-centres back up), it added.

ARTS Energy was highlighted during the the French President Emmanuel Macron's recent visit to the UAE, as a potential future partner for the sustainable development of the UAE, thanks to its:
*10 years life in outdoor applications, associated with renewable sources of energy;
*Green battery technology (RoHs – no heavy metals);
*Robust up to +85°C – no electronics and
*Low total cost of ownership, maintenance free during 10 years.

The new Endurance battery range is proposed with attractive form factors, offering many benefits for the integration of the battery, it stated.

ARTS Energy has been headed by Patrice Le Reun since the company was founded in 2013. The company which has its head office at Nersac in Charente, France, employs 280 people and generates turnover of €40 million.– TradeArabia News Service
