Railway & Transportation

Railway signaling, level crossings, and onboard systems demand the highest reliability. A single battery failure can halt operations across an entire corridor. Naradex batteries deliver proven, certified performance for rail infrastructure.

The Challenge

  • Signaling system failure can cause safety incidents and network-wide delays
  • Trackside installations face extreme vibration, temperature swings, and humidity
  • Level crossing systems require instant, reliable power for barrier operation
  • Long replacement cycles demand batteries with 10-15+ year service life

The Naradex Solution

Naradex ND12 and NL2 series batteries are deployed in railway signaling, level crossing, and station backup power systems across multiple countries. Our thick flat plate construction and advanced AGM separator technology withstand the vibration and temperature extremes of trackside installations.

Vibration Resistant

Thick flat plate and advanced AGM separator absorb trackside vibration without degradation.

Wide Temperature Range

-25°C to 60°C operation handles outdoor trackside environments year-round.

Long Service Life

10-year design life (ND12) / 15+ years (NL2) minimizes trackside maintenance visits.

Proven Track Record

Deployed in railway systems across 100+ countries with zero critical failures.

Railway & Transportation FAQ

Are Naradex batteries suitable for trackside signaling installations?
Yes. Naradex ND12 AGM batteries feature thick flat plate construction and advanced AGM separators specifically designed to withstand the vibration and temperature extremes of trackside environments. They are deployed in railway signaling systems in multiple countries.
What battery is recommended for level crossing barriers?
For level crossing systems, we recommend the ND12-65 or ND12-100 depending on the barrier motor power and required backup duration. These batteries provide reliable instant power for barrier operation, warning lights, and alarm systems.
How do Naradex batteries handle extreme cold in northern railway lines?
Naradex batteries operate from -25°C to 60°C. At -15°C, capacity retention is approximately 65% of rated capacity. For extreme cold environments, we recommend oversizing the battery bank by 40-50% to compensate for temperature-related capacity reduction.
Do Naradex batteries meet railway industry safety standards?
Naradex batteries are CE certified and tested to IEC 60896-21/22 standards. The sealed VRLA design eliminates acid spill risks, making them safe for enclosed trackside cabinets. Contact us for specific railway standard compliance documentation.
