Here at Capitol Industrial Batteries, we have operated as an independent battery manufacturer sales and service centre since 2001.
We have the background, knowledge and ability to meet any customer’s requirements and we can supply and overhaul Ni-Cad, wet lead acid, gel VRLA maintenance-free and lithium battery types whilst also offering bespoke manufacturing for specific client needs.
We pride ourselves in our ability to support the market through investment in our stock holding facility as a core part of our business model which allows us to deliver products more quickly than our major competitors.
Capitol Industrial Batteries makes, supplies and services a comprehensive range of batteries and is fully aware, committed and engaged in supporting the evolving market in terms of the electrification and decarbonisation agendas, which are major themes in most organisations at present.
Our knowledge of battery technologies futureproofs our continued ability to supply and service any product type to support the long-term operation of alternative fuel-powered trains.
For more than two decades we have been acutely aware of the need for localised battery production within the UK, which is why we continue with the final assembly and commissioning of our products here in Cumbernauld, near Glasgow. We also have a full maintenance and overhaul facility in Birmingham – something we pride ourselves on.
We have the full backing of our manufacturing partners who have supported this area of our business by providing technical development of our products to ensure they are a safe and reliable option for any and all types of rail vehicles.
Our bespoke customer-focused level of service from manufacturing through to project consultation and close collaboration means that we can tailor the correct battery option from our dedicated product range for use in all rail applications.
