Batteries for E-Call, designed for the special requirements of the automotive industry

The EU requires that all new cars be equipped with an E-Call system. In the event of an accident, E-Call automatically connects the injured person to the nearest emergency centre and sends an MSD (Minimum Set of Data) with the exact location of the vehicle.

As the risk of failure of the E-Call system is not insignificant, a backup battery is required to ensure that the E-Call system works even after a serious accident. This battery must be reliable, robust and must discharge even at temperatures down to -20 ° C.

Panasonic's Rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries (Ni-MH) BK-60AAAW and BK-120AAW are designed to meet the special requirements of the automotive industry.

With their robustness and wide temperature range from -30 ° C to 85 ° C, they deliver excellent and reliable performance and with an expected service life of approximately 8 years
