FLASH BATTERY: the lithium battery that doesn’t require any maintenance
18 October 2017
Flash Battery Srl presents the new Flash Battery brand, the fast-charge, zero-maintenance lithium battery specifically designed for industrial vehicles and machines.
We decided to change the name in order to convey the two strengths that have always set our lithium batteries apart: fast charging 8 times quicker than classic batteries and zero routine maintenance required.
Since 2012, we’ve designed and produced over 15.000 lithium batteries, created customised solutions for over 500 different models and supplied over 200 MWh in different applications, including industrial machines and electric vehicles. Every day, Flash Batteries, the Italian lithium batteries installed so far in 54 countries around the world, are automatically monitored by our proprietary remote control system.
The technical expertise we have acquired over time, after in-depth studies and plenty of research, means we can make lithium batteries with excellent energy performance and a very low weight compared with lead-acid batteries. Thanks to our know-how, we have created extremely efficient lithium batteries, which don’t require any maintenance (zero-maintenance lithium batteries) and offer very high performance in terms of charging speed.
In actual fact, it is to underline these features that we decided to call ourselves Flash Battery; the same name we used to establish our position on the international market of lithium battery manufacturers and suppliers.
The exclusive Flash Battery balancing system differs from traditional lithium battery systems because it is able to equalize the charge level of each cell during both charging and discharging through a high-power balancing process.
The Flash Balancing System operates with a balancing power 20 times greater than that of conventional lithium batteries, drastically reducing charging time (under 25 minutes) while ensuring maximum autonomy. The lithium cells remain balanced and efficient throughout the battery’s lifespan, which exceeds 4,000 cycles.
Moreover, Flash Battery’s special internal architecture allows repairs to be carried out on-site by non-specialized technicians directly at the user’s location. This is why Flash Battery is zero maintenance: it requires no routine maintenance and eliminates both transportation costs and prolonged machine downtime.
The Flash Data Center is the portal we created to store all battery usage data. Accessible via web access by our support team and the machine manufacturer, it archives operational data and allows precise, real-time monitoring of the lithium battery’s health status.
Finally, the Automatic Alert System is an automated signaling system that warns of malfunctions and enables early intervention on potential issues. Together, these two innovations define a truly advanced control system, making our lithium battery for industrial machines and vehicles an extremely efficient and competitive product.
We chose to revolutionize the lithium battery sector by betting on new technologies and developing increasingly high-performance products. We envisioned creating a battery with zero maintenance costs — and we made that dream a reality.
The decision to change our name by adding Flash Battery alongside Kaitek marks a turning point not only for our company, always looking toward the future, but also for our customers, to whom we deliver a more efficient service through lithium batteries featuring optimized technology and zero maintenance costs.
