Rechargeable lithium-ion battery system
Super lithium-iron phosphate 6T high performance battery
NATO Stock Number: 6140-99-380-7294
One 24V Xcelion 6T™ replaces two 12V Pb-acid 6T batteries.
Saft’s Xcelion 6T™ is a 24V battery system
that provides starting, lights and ignition
power for military vehicles, along with
silent watch capabilities.
This ruggedized replacement for lead-acid
batteries utilizes Saft’s proprietary SuperPhosphate® chemistry which is ideally
suited for high performance military
applications and high levels of safety.
