The Furukawa Battery FCR series can be applied to various applications, ranging from use with renewable energy systems to back-up energy storage for emergency power supplies. Initially, they were developed for the requirements of the Japanese railway system, but their design and long cycle life have led to them being used for other applications as well.
Originally, the FCR-50-12 and FCR-100-6 will be promoted for ship and offshore use, despite the fact that other batteries in the series will also be made available as required.
