The Caterpillar electric battery is a chemical source of current, a source of reusable electromotive force. The main specificity lies in the reversibility of internal chemical processes. This ensures its repeated cyclic use (through charge-discharge) for energy storage and autonomous power supply of various electrical devices and equipment, as well as for providing backup energy sources in Caterpillar vehicles and special equipment.
1. Lead acid (Lead Acid) - the most common type of battery, which is used in Caterpillar special equipment, or as an uninterruptible power supply in emergency situations.
2. Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) - the most widely used as a replacement for a standard galvanic cell, they are also used in Caterpillar electric cars and other Caterpillar electrical equipment.
3. Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) - also used as a replacement for a standard galvanic cell in electric vehicles.
