ARTS Energy’s VH super high energy Ni-MH series are perfectly suited for applications requiring high power, high
energy density and robustness.Additionnaly, the VH series can be fast charged (1C).
The VH AA 1500 contains aqueous electrolyte, an
important safety feature as it is non-ammable.
This is key reason why the VH AA 1500 are not
considered as a dangerous goods and can be
transported by air without any transportation
constraints (no homologation tests for
transportations, no restrictions for packaging
and transportation).
To meet customers’ requirements, ARTS Energy
provides custom-designed and standardised
battery packs.
For your battery design and system needs,
please contact ARTS Energy’s engineers.
