TAB was established in 1965 as one of the company in Rudnik Mežica Holding in a region where different lead activities are 350 years old. For the first 15 years, TAB was a licence partner with Tudor, Sweden. After 1980, the company has its own research and development department which is nowadays resulting in the production of all kind of lead-acid flooded and VRLA AGM batteries in two modern and computer supported factories:

* one for starter batteries trade mark Topla and TAB (with yearly capacity of 1.200.000 pieces; buildings 6.500 m2, total area 17.800 m2) and

* the second one for industrial batteries trade mark TAB (with yearly capacity of around 750.000 pieces of medium size traction or stationary cells and blocks; buildings 8.200 m2, total area 13.100 m2).

In TAB also various military batteries are produced.

High quality batteries are known worldwide especially in Europe, Asia and America.

One of the very important production part of your company is internal logistics. We are introducing our traction batteries TAB which have been satisfying the most demanding users for more than three decades.

Batteries are known by their:

* high capacity
* long life-time
* resistance to vibrations
* low consumption of distilled water
* simple maintenance
* short charging times

We assemble individual cells (2V) into batteries with different voltages, capacities and dimensions which suite to all types of electrical vehicles. Wide production program covers the range of DIN (PzS) and BS (PzB) cells according to EN60254 - 1,2 and IEC 254 ñ 1,2.

Traction batteries TAB of type PzS and PzB are appropriated for propulsion of different electrical vehicles (forklifts, mine locomotives, traction and transportation vehicles).

Execution of cells and batteries

We produce cells and batteries in:

# welded version
# screw (bolted) version

Both versions are being manufactured as:

# Dry-charged: a battery/cell have to be filled up with an electrolyte and supplementary charged before use. The plates are already formed and in special process protected against oxidation. They can be stored up to two years.

# Electrolyte-charged: a battery/cell can be installed immediately, because it is already filled up with electrolyte and electrically charged as well.

We highly recommend the use of additional systems:

# central water filling system which enables a quick and precise service of the whole battery under any working conditions
# electrolyte mixing system which allows an electric vehicle to be in operation for two shifts or for 16 hours without changing a battery. Yet, the battery with a 100% daily charge (maximum charging current is 2,5 * I5) can not be damaged during this time.

The advantages of this system are:

# reduction of the charging factor from 1,20 to 1,05
# reduction of the charging energy by app. 15%
# reduction of the charging time for 3 hours due to the charging method IuIa
# lower working temperature
# reduction of water consumption by 75%
