DEFENCE

Aztec is Southern Africa’s leading importer, distributor and integrator of batteries for all military air, land and sea platforms. Modern military vehicles operate numerous integral on-board electronic systems such as manned and unmanned turrets, missile launchers, radars, active protection systems, jammers, C3 systems, situational awareness, air conditioning, and others which require extensive continuous electric power. This high energy demand applies when vehicles are on the move, during short stops and also during silent-watch missions. Supplying the vehicle with sufficient energy and high power rates during silent-watch is especially important in asymmetric and urban warfare in order to keep the acoustic and thermal signature low and to save fuel for later manoeuvring.

Our lithium batteries provide the highest energy density on the market and are based on Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide (NCA) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistries. They are compliant with military safety and functional requirements and have been tested and selected by numerous leading defence vehicle manufacturers and operators around the world.

Our lithium vehicle batteries are equipped with a smart internal battery management system (BMS) which enables simple integration into new and legacy vehicles. They support a wide range of operating temperatures from -40°C to +71°C. In addition they are designed to operate in harsh environments of tracked and wheeled military vehicles ensuring long maintenance-free operation.
