In the standby power sector, Wetac supplies maintenance-free lead-acid batteries engineered for emergency power systems, telecommunications, alarm installations, and medical equipment. These solutions ensure reliable backup power when needed most.
The motive power division focuses on batteries for cyclic applications, including golf carts, aerial work platforms, and mobility scooters. Their MOVE batteries are specifically designed for consistent performance in demanding operational environments, incorporating both AGM and GEL technologies.
Recent Projects
In late 2023, Wetac formed a strategic partnership with Conneqtech to develop intelligent battery monitoring systems. This collaboration aims to enhance battery performance monitoring in smaller electric vehicles, including mobility scooters and cleaning equipment.
The company has also expanded its service offerings through a partnership with Battery Watering Technologies, strengthening its distribution capabilities for battery maintenance systems across Europe.
