Battery protection is essential
BATTERIES ARE LIKE HUMANS: THEY DON’T LIKE GETTING COLD

“The truth about battery operating temperature leaves you quite miserable when you need an installation off grid”, knows Dennis Hill looking back at his 20 years’ experience at Ventech Systems. Every single battery company claims that their batteries will work at a temperature range from at least -20 °C up to 30 °C or higher. “That is simply not true even when you look at the graphs they provide with their battery features. A battery is similar to a human body. It needs warmth to operate efficiently, able to be charged and have a good life span. So, when we put on cloths to keep warm in cold climates, batteries in outdoor installations need a quality enclosure to house them and to keep their temperature stable!” Batteries are the engine room and therefore, battery protection is essential!

What a great project it has been for MetService bringing two of our extreme equipment enclosures into the Pacific to Samoa airport and receiving a new frangibility certification for our enclosures with it! What's that all about? Have a read... www.ventechsystems.co.nz/news/enclosures-samoa-airport

Strict regulations
Critical Communication in Off grid Installations

When it comes to critical communications for police, fire brigades, ambulances or councils, the regulations around installations become strictly regulated. These first responders need to be able to communicate and coordinate on a day-to-day basis and in particular through natural disasters. Therefore, on the hill tops around New Zealand’s capital city Wellington there are several stations housing critical communication gear. These sites are primarily off grid in harsh conditions, being protected by Ventech System enclosures.
High standard enclosures coupled with Ventech Systems patented controlled venting systems are paramount when it comes to electronics and battery protection. Ventech System explains how these installations work and why local councils rely on our knowledge and experience. This gives not only first responders and councils piece of mind but is also a resilient solution for the safety of the New Zealand population…

Ventech Systems at Comms Connect
NETWORKING & KNOWLEDGE SHARING

“I believe it was the largest number of attendees Comms Connect has ever seen”, summarizes Dennis Hill from Ventech Systems. 550 visitors, 45 exhibitors and 34 expert speakers shared their knowledge on 26. and 27. June 2024 in Christchurch.

“For me the first day was the best and a true highlight was Lloyd Wensley’s speech about our Mount Campbell installation. He’s the director of Mount Campbell Communications and featured us in his speech mentioning that ‘without the support of Ventech Systems, the project would have failed’, explains Dennis proudly.

As expected, a huge number...

The battery pain point is the ambient temperature

Although all providers claim in their advertisements that their batteries work in a temperature range from at least -20 °C up to 30, 40 or even 60°C in reality it looks different. “Depending on the type of battery, particularly when ambient temperatures drop below zero, every single battery will suffer capacity loss. The battery output is diminished the lower... Continue reading... https://www.ventechsystems.co.nz/news/battery-protection
