Starting in April, PowerGenix NiZn battery packs will be deployed in traffic installations in metropolitan areas in the US, Canada and Mexico.
The UP-Stealth system will use the PowerGenix NiZn battery cells which makes it a much smaller and lighter package than lead-acid equivalents.
UP-Stealth can be installed in previously unutilized space in existing traffic control cabinets, replacing traditional lead-acid based UPS systems and eliminating the bulky, heavy external battery cabinet attached to the primary traffic cabinet.
PSI Acquisition CEO Tim Hysell said that PowerGenix’s NiZn rechargeable chemistry enabled the company to create a lighter, higher-performing, hazard-free and more reliable product that will make intersections safer.
"UP-Stealth allows budget challenged traffic agencies to reduce maintenance and installation costs while enhancing traffic safety," Hysell said.
NiZn batteries are also recyclable and RoHS compliant, with no toxic heavy metals, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to lead-acid and other battery chemistries.
PSI Acquisition specializes in intelligent traffic solutions, manufacturing and distributing cabinets, controllers, UPS systems, conflict monitors and security access systems.
