Harland Simon Launch Lead Crystal® Batteries in the UK

Power Protection Solutions Specialist Harland Simon UPS is launching a range of the World's cleanest, high performance, industrial batteries into the UK, enabling businesses to reduce the environmental, safety and performance impacts of using traditional Lead Acid and Lead Gel Batteries.

The launch of the new Lead Crystal® range of batteries from Harland Simon – available in 2 to 12 volt versions - follows years of research and development to produce a cleaner, safer, better performing range of industrial batteries for use across a wide range of applications.

Not only better performing across a range of measures, unlike traditional Lead Acid Batteries which are potentially hazardous to handle and transport as a result of the acid contained within them, the new Lead Crystal® Batteries contain no toxic fluids, cadmium or antimony, are up to 99% recyclable and are ISO 14001 certified.


Now available in the UK exclusively through Harland Simon, the new Lead Crystal® Batteries can be used across a wide range of applications wherever traditional Lead Acid and Lead Gel batteries are currently used including powering electric powered vehicles, within Uninterruptible Power Supply Units (UPS), for back up and operating power systems within industrial settings and within a range of renewable energy and telecommunications applications.

"By the nature of their manufacture and what’s contained within them, traditional Lead Acid and Lead Gel Batteries are extremely harmful for the environment and come with a range of handling, storage, transport and recycling issues. They also perform poorly when compared to new Lead Crystal® batteries," said Phillip Dunn, Business Development Manager for Harland Simon UPS Ltd .

"The development of our Lead Crystal® technology means there is now an alternative battery solution which will not only enable a business to reduce the hazards associated with Lead Acid and Lead Gel but enjoy significantly increased performance benefits, much longer shelf life and better environmental credentials," added Phillip.

In addition to coming with a 3 year factory guarantee, the new Lead Crystal® batteries charge twice as fast as conventional alternatives, can be 100% discharged daily and fully recovered, have a service life of 18 years, can provide in excess of 6000 cycles (dependent on DoD) and can be stored for up to 2 years with no additional charging required.
