Let's discuss your project
Saft's nickel battery product ranges deliver highly reliable and efficient energy storage in off-grid schemes.
Storing renewable energy with Saft's off-grid Ni-Cd battery solutions
The off-grid market refers to systems and applications that operate independently of the main electricity grid, often in remote or rural areas where grid access is unavailable or unreliable. These applications require batteries to store excess energy generated from renewable sources such as solar panels or wind turbines, ensuring a continuous supply of power even when these sources are not actively generating energy.
Saft's advanced off-grid Ni-Cd battery technology efficiently and safely stores excess energy for use when solar panels or wind turbines are not available. Saft nickel batteries are robust and have high cycling capabilities, giving them a long life with little or no maintenance, even when exposed to erratic charging conditions, extreme operating temperatures and humidity. They provide cost-effective and environmentally responsible power.
Saft’s nickel battery solutions provide reliable and efficient energy storage for off-grid schemes, ensuring continuous power. They drive down the TCO of the entire system due to their durability and robustness.

Closing the loop on responsible production
Saft operates the only plant in the world that produces nickel-cadmium batteries incorporating metals that have been reclaimed on site from spent batteries, reducing their eco-footprint. Recycling Ni-Cd batteries is a complex process that involves separating the nickel, cobalt and cadmium from the electrodes, a process perfected by Saft’s plant in Oskarshamn, Sweden – the only one worldwide involved in both the recycling and manufacturing of Ni-Cd batteries and incorporating recycled metals.
Saft operates a network of over 30 bring back points worldwide that receive spent Ni-Cd batteries produced at Saft factories, as well as those made by its competitors. The bring back point located in northern Europe brings these used batteries back to Oskarshamn, minimizing transportation. Other bring back points work with other fully permitted recycling partners selected by Saft to ensure that the recovery rates mandated imposed by the EU battery directive are met.
Awards
Saft was awarded a top rating in 2021 by Ecovadis, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rating organization for sustainable development performance, scoring in the 96th percentile on: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
