FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What battery systems does ABB offer? 

ABB's portfolio consists of four main offerings: Max Series, Pro Series, Modus Series and Tailored Solutions. Max and Pro are proven battery platforms supporting a wide range of mobile and energy-storage applications. Modus is a stationary energy-storage platform built from the same proven battery technology. Tailored Solutions are engineered for projects with unique voltage, power, packaging or environmental requirements. The portfolio is complemented by lifecycle services including condition monitoring, performance warranty, training, spare parts, repair and end-of-life support.

2. Which battery chemistry does ABB use? 

ABB's traction battery portfolio is primarily based on Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) cells.  LTO is the ideal battery chemistry for demanding transportation and industrial duty cycles requiring high power, frequent charging, excellent safety and extremely long service life.

3. Why does ABB use LTO instead of conventional EV battery chemistries? 

Compared with typical EV chemistries, LTO provides significantly longer cycle life, higher charging rates, excellent low and high-temperature charging performance and superior abuse tolerance. Fast charging and high power capability, long service life, low degradation and high intrinsic safety are the key reasons for selecting LTO.

4. What is the difference between the ABB Max Series and Pro Series? 

Max uses a modular module-to-pack design optimized for flexibility, serviceability and scalability. Pro uses a higher-density cell-to-pack architecture that reduces installation volume and weight while increasing energy density. Both platforms use ABB's safety architecture and LTO technology.

5. What are the main technical advantages of ABB battery systems? 

ABB solutions provide low total cost of ownership, highest safety, robustness, battery lifetime and charging performance, modularity, remote condition monitoring, lifecycle services and a large installed base of battery packs and modules in operation.

1. Which ABB battery systems are suitable for railway applications?

ABB traction batteries are designed for a broad range of railway applications including Battery Electric Multiple Units (BEMU), Electric Multiple Units (EMU), locomotives, trams, light rail vehicles and metro systems. The combination of high power capability, fast charging and long cycle life makes LTO technology particularly suitable for intensive rail duty cycles with frequent regenerative braking and opportunity charging. ABB has supplied batteries for both retrofit and newbuild railway projects.

2. Are ABB battery systems suitable for mining and heavy off-highway vehicles? 

Yes. ABB LTO batteries are used in truck projects and zero-emission vehicle initiatives where they are used to electrify heavy-duty haulage applications. Mining applications benefit from the high power capability of LTO technology, its ability to absorb large amounts of regenerative braking energy and its robustness in demanding environments.

3. Can ABB battery systems be used in marine applications?

Yes. Depending on vessel requirements, batteries can support propulsion, peak shaving, spinning reserve, hybrid operation and energy optimization. Product selection and certification requirements depend on the vessel class and project scope. ABB’s Max series is DNV certified.

4. Can batteries be used for stationary energy storage?

Yes. ABB offers the Modus platform for stationary energy-storage applications including peak shaving, backup and recuperation systems. Stationary systems can utilize the same proven battery technology used in transportation applications and may also support future second-life concepts.

5. What happens at end of life? At end of life, batteries can follow several pathways depending on their condition. Options may include continued operation, repair, module replacement, second-life evaluation, requalification for stationary service or recycling. ABB's lifecycle approach aims to maximize resource utilization while supporting regulatory and sustainability requirements.

1. What lifecycle services are available for ABB battery systems?

ABB offers a comprehensive lifecycle service portfolio including Condition Monitoring, Performance Warranty, remote diagnostics, spare-parts support, battery repair, field service support, training, storage and logistics support, obsolescence management, on-site spare stock programs. Those offerings can be included in a Service Level Agreement. Customers can select individual services or combine them into a complete package.

2. What is ABB Condition Monitoring for battery systems?

ABB Condition Monitoring is a cloud-based digital service that provides visibility into battery performance, utilization and health throughout the entire lifecycle. The platform enables monitoring of battery fleets, vehicles and individual battery systems and supports data-driven maintenance decisions.

3. Can ABB batteries be monitored and diagnosed remotely?

Yes. ABB can access operational and diagnostic information remotely when connectivity is enabled. This accelerates root-cause analysis, service planning and corrective-action identification.

4. Does ABB provide repair services?

Yes. ABB offers battery repair services through dedicated repair facilities. Depending on the failure mode and service agreement, ABB can repair or replace affected components to restore battery functionality and performance.

5. Does ABB support obsolescence management?

Yes. ABB offers obsolescence-management services and last-buy planning to help customers maintain long-lifecycle assets. This is particularly important in railway and industrial applications where service life can extend many years beyond the original delivery date.
