Flow-Rite SPWS for Locomotive Batteries

Frequent locomotive starts demand aggressive charging which results in increased water use within the batteries. Maintaining the proper level of water is essential to ensure cranking amps are available. The Flow-Rite single-point watering systems are designed specifically

• to survive the extreme temperatures and vibrations onboard locomotives
• to work on ALL MAJOR BRANDS of locomotive starting batteries
• to fit within the battery compartments on locomotives
• to ensure each cell receives the accurate amount of water

With over a decade of success on locomotives traveling across the US and Canada, the Flow-Rite single-point watering systems have been proven highly effective at reducing battery maintenance time/cost and improving battery performance. Flow-Rite SPWS may be purchased through ARMS for easy install by railroad maintenance crews. They can also be factory-installed when ordering new Stryten Energy locomotive starting batteries KDZ501-FR and KDZ651-FR.

BatteryNurse™ Systems

BatteryNurse™ systems provide high-performance testing and charging for optimal battery health and reliability. Systems are designed to maximize process flow within each facility so that locomotive batteries can move expediently through the stages: Triage > Watering > Bulk Charge >Test > Float Charge. This creates a store of qualified batteries that are available for immediate service. The BatteryNurse™ system prevents installation of bad batteries or improperly charged batteries that could cause no-starts and require redundant maintenance.

ARMS specializes in the highest caliber products and solutions to help railroads obtain optimum performance and viability from their locomotive starting batteries.

Canadus Locomotive Battery Desulfator

Safe, proven and patented High-Frequency Battery Energizing (HFBE) technology that combats battery failure by eliminating sulfation problems, the primary reason for battery deterioration. Easy to install and use; no special tools are required. When batteries are charging, Canadus battery energizers draw energy from the charger (DC side) and automatically work to keep the battery plates clean.

• 32V & 64V
• Reverse polarity protected
• Operating Temperature: -45°…+85°C
• Green LED indicator
• M10 (3/8″) ring terminals
