The Company
MICROTEX Energy P. Ltd. was established in 1969.
The manufacturing unit of MICROTEX is situated in Peenya, Bangalore, India.
The MICROTEX Energy P. Ltd is an ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 certified company.
Promoters
Mr. A. Govindan Founder & Chairman, a first generation entrepreneur, promoted the company. Mr. Govindan
pioneered the manufacture and usage of PVC separators in India. He was instrumental in diversifying the
company into manufacture of lead acid batteries. The company is managed professionally by a committed
team.
Product Profile
MICROTEX Valve Regulated Battery is designed to meet various industrial standards. The battery
works on gas recombination technology, which eliminates the need to top up the batteries with water
periodically and is mounted horizontally in robust stackable steel modules
Constructional Highlights
?
Flame retardant cell case. ?
Unique European type wide electrode design
?
Proprietary process technology ideal for all ?
Leak resistant double seal terminal design
climatic conditions
?
Robust & aesthetically attractive modular ?
Efficient & effective vent valve assembly
design with thermal control features
Advantages
?
Gas recombination technology that eliminates Leakage resistant double seal terminals that
?
the need to add water. prevents escape of any acid mist.
?
Effective & repeatable valve operation that Long storage due to the use of high quality
?
works within a narrow pressure band. materials in electrode construction with
(Opening and Closing). stringent process controls there in.
?
Installation that is high on convenience. Is Leakage resistant construction with flame
?
friendly & provides peace of mind. retardant materials permits its use in any
orientation that assures safety.
?
High performance operation with no Effective & reliable performance based on
?
maintenance (doesn't require routine water balanced material design, excellent charge
additions or specific gravity checks) acceptance, deep discharge recovery and
uniformly useful capacity during its expected
service life.
?
Jar formation ensures consistent capacity & Better usage of foot print area due to
?
voltage of the cell. stackable modular design.
