Domestic batteries are produced for many inventories, from helmet systems used by security forces to unmanned air, land and sea vehicles. Birikim Batteries Deputy General Manager Kadem Usta gave information about the batteries, stating that the batteries were included in the inventory by passing various tests such as sealing, vibration and heat, and that they were able to carry out the majority of the tests within their own structure.
Batteries that withstand harsh conditions from minus 40 degrees to plus 120 degrees
Stating that they can produce not only batteries but all battery packaging systems, Kadem Usta said, “We produce a variety of products, from helmet systems used by security forces to batteries of unmanned air, land and sea vehicles. We also have batteries used in smart ammunition. We cooperate with companies such as BAYKAR, ASELSAN and ROKETSAN. We not only produce batteries but also do battery packaging. In other words, when a battery is to be produced, we carry out all engineering studies, from its efficiency to which technology should be used, from its environmental effects to its safety. This process has subsystems such as battery management system and thermal management system. We also produce these in our own R&D center. We can carry out the necessary tests in accordance with IP standards. For example, we can perform tests such as sealing, vibration and heat at temperatures ranging from minus 40 degrees to plus 120 degrees in our center. “In electrical tests, we carry out tests up to 100 watts and 400 amperes,” he said.
Drones that extinguish fires, destroy packages with detonators, and deliver life preservers to drowning people…
Providing information about the areas in which batteries are used, Usta said, “We produce batteries for unmanned air, land and sea vehicles up to 1-2 kilowatts. For example, in the defense industry, our batteries are mostly used in guard drones and in tunnel operations where people cannot enter, while in the private sector, they are used in drones that perform tasks such as agricultural spraying, surveillance, and package delivery. We produce batteries for small robots used in tracking systems in unmanned land vehicles that perform tasks such as fire extinguishing, detonating packages with detonators, and drones that assist lifesavers. “For example, we took part in a drone project that automatically delivered a life preserver to someone in danger of drowning,” he said.
Batteries are the elements that trigger the devices or provide communication.
Usta, Deputy General Manager of Birikim Batteries, which is also a member of SAHA Istanbul, concluded his words as follows: “Batteries are the cells of batteries, these cells are combined into a battery pack with voltages and amperages suitable for the application, but a battery management system is not included in this combination process. Application-specific calculations and tests need to be made. A large battery pack is formed by combining the cells, which are cells, and is adjusted according to the capacity to operate that device. It is used in drones, unmanned aerial, land and sea vehicles. For example, a drone or missile sends the visual recordings it takes while flying to the center, and the center examines the images simultaneously. The devices that provide this are our batteries. In other words, it is the fuel, not the battery, that pushes the missile forward. Batteries are devices that trigger or provide communication.”
