VHT 7/5 Cs
High Temperature Series
Saft’s VHT high temperature Ni-MH series are perfectly suited for professional applications
requiring a battery with an exceptional robustness. It is designed to operate in very demanding
environment (from - 40°C to + 85°C).
The VHT 7/5 Cs can be fast charged with a
maximum current of C/3, and offers an
exceptional life duration. The VHT 7/5 Cs
delivers a huge number of full or partial
cycles: 2000 full cycles and even 5000
cycles with 50% DOD (Depth Of Discharge).
To meet customers’ requirements, Saft
provides custom-designed and standardized
battery packs.
For your battery design and system needs,
please contact Saft’s engineers.
