Exide Awarded Battery and Maintenance Contract

Advanced Battery Technology, Sep 2005

Exide Technologies has been selected by BP Solar Arabia to provide replacement batteries for its client, Saudi Telecom, to be used as a source of backup power for the long-distance transmission network in Saudi Arabia.

The company will supply Absolyte® IIP batteries for 175 digital microwave transmission and fiber optic transmission telecommunications sites. The batteries, which will be manufactured at Exide's plant in Fort Smith, Arkansas, are expected to be delivered in October and December.

"This is an important order for us in the growing renewable energy sector," said Neil Bright, president, industrial energy, Europe. "This business win also demonstrates the global nature of our organization, from the sales and technical support by our team in Dubai to the actual manufacturing in the United States."
