Gennevilliers, Hauts-de-Seine -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/12/2015 --Battery giant GNB Industrial Power, a division of Exide Technologies (OTCQB: XIDEQ), is exhibiting at the trade show Energy Storage Europe, taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany this week. The company is showcasing its Sonnenschein PowerCycle, TENSOR Solar, and Sonnenschein@home products.

GNB's Sonnenschein@home is designed for residential storage of energy created by solar panels. The batteries fit into a modular, expandable cabinet system. They have significant float and cycle life and need no maintenance, offering end-users significant savings in cost of ownership and enabling them to contribute to a better environment.

Sonnenschein PowerCycle is ideal for countries with severe climates, especially in emerging markets where instability in power supply makes battery back-up crucial. This new battery is the latest development of GNB's dryfit® Gel technology, and allows a reduction in running costs from electricity, diesel, replacements and site visits. Its advanced design means easy installation, durability, low energy consumption, and great performance in a wide range of conditions.

TENSOR Solar from GNB is designed to combine power and efficiency, suitable for large-scale solar power plants. This high-performance battery offers best-in-class cycle life and energy throughput, outperforming a typical traction battery by over 100%. Its improved performance comes from an optimised internal resistance. There is an optional low-maintenance version with watering system available.
