e-Traction & Valence
As with every electric traction system one of the most critical and important components to be managed is the battery system. e-Traction has selected Valence as a reliable partner and preferred supplier in every application.
Valence as preferred supplier
Valence is the most reliable technology partner that e-Traction has worked with so far.
The e-Traction system combined with Valence batteries contains algorithms which are designed to meet all types of system use yet ensure safe battery operation.
This makes that Valence battery systems and e-Traction technology beside road vehicles also are very well applicable in yachts. For other applications we are very pleased to advise you.
e-Traction technology and Valence
In traction sytems the delicate balance between state of charge, max. current, voltage and battery weight is optimised to reach maximum battery life and safe operation.
Operating with the standard Battery Monitoring System of Valence our software constantly monitors all cell temperatures, voltages and state of charge. With this information charging or discharging is applied whenever necessary. With this approach vehicles and boats can operate safely with high-capacity Li-Ion without the need for constant manual monitoring.
The advantages of Valence
Valence technology delivers superior battery quality and has proven reliable in projects such as the Whisper city bus. It's batteries have great advantages compared to conventional traction batteries:
- 33% lighter with twice the run-time
- Longer shelf life and faster recharge time
- Smart battery monitoring and internal cell balancing
- No lead acid leaks
Lower Total Cost Of Ownership
Intrinsic phosphate safety that protects against abusive situations.
- Environmentally friendly, no heavy metals or disposal issues.
- High energy efficiency with no memory effect.
- Lower lifetime costs due to low maintenance and high cycle life.
