Battery Thermal Management

CONTACT US REQUEST QUOTE

Low temperatures, thermal cycling extremes, discharge and recharge temperatures will impact battery efficiency, amp-hours discharge capacity, lifetime, as well as rechargeability.  For cold temperature and cold weather usage, battery warmers, battery warming systems, or battery heaters in various forms ensure long battery life and optimal recharge and discharge performance. 

Let’s face it, winter temperatures in locations above grow zone six can be downright brutal. These cold climates can significantly effect the performance of batteries, regardless of the battery chemical composition. Cold temperatures compromise the chemical reaction in batteries and reduces the ability to store and release energy properly. By adding the heat, you extend the battery lifetime usage.

Heaters for Improved Battery Performance

For over 40 years, Durex Industries has provided high performance bespoke warming elements and heating solutions of the highest quality for energy storage applications in transportation, aviation, industrial equipment, EV, and electronics equipment OEMs as well as for Aftermarket applications.

Benefits to Battery Warming

• Extended usage lifetime due to better thermal management
• Enables proper recharges without impacting battery life and performance
• Extends cell life and evens out cell aging
• Improves charge times
• Provides freeze protection
