You can reach Proterra Powered at 1815 Rollins Rd, Burlingame, CA, 94010-2204, or give them a call at 254-542-8622. Who is Proterra Powered? A Bit of Background. For those who don’t know us, Proterra Powered isn't new to the battery game. We started by building batteries for electric buses – seriously tough batteries that needed to last all day, every day. We learned a lot doing that. Now, we’re taking that know-how and making it available to anyone who needs reliable, high-performance battery systems – it’s really about powering anything that needs power. We’re not just selling batteries; we’re providing the energy backbone for a cleaner, more efficient future. And we’re doing it right here in the US, from our base in Burlingame. Introducing the Valante Family: More Than Just a Battery Pack The Valante family isn't just one battery; it's a whole range. Think of it like building with Lego bricks - you pick the size and shape that fits your needs. We've got options covering a broad voltage and capacity range, making it easier to electrify a ton of different stuff. “We recognized there was a real gap in the market,” says a Proterra Powered spokesperson. “Companies wanting to go electric often faced a huge headache sourcing battery packs. They either had to design everything themselves – which is expensive and time-consuming – or settle for off-the-shelf solutions that didn’t quite fit. Valante changes that. It’s a scalable, customizable platform designed to make electrification accessible.” What Makes Valante Different? Let’s Get Technical (But Not Too Technical) So, what's under the hood? Valante packs are built around some seriously advanced battery cells. We're talking about high energy density, meaning you get more power from a smaller, lighter package. This is crucial for applications where weight and space are at a premium – think electric forklifts or boats. But it's not just about the cells. Proterra Powered has packed Valante with smart technology. Here’s a breakdown: Advanced Battery Management System (BMS): This is the brain of the operation. It constantly monitors and controls the battery, maximizing performance, extending lifespan, and ensuring safety. It’s like having a professional driver for your battery, always optimizing for the best possible result. Liquid Thermal Management: Batteries get hot when they work hard. Our liquid cooling system keeps everything at the optimal temperature, preventing overheating and maintaining peak performance. It’s a big deal for demanding applications. Robust Packaging: These batteries are built to last. We use rugged materials and a sealed design to protect against dust, water, and vibration. They can handle tough environments. Scalability and Customization: This is where Valante really shines. We can tailor the pack’s voltage, capacity, and physical dimensions to meet your specific requirements. Need a battery for a small electric scooter? We can do it. Need a massive battery system for a large industrial vehicle? No problem. Who’s Already Using Valante? Applications are Expanding Fast. The Valante family is already making waves in a variety of industries. Here are just a few examples: Commercial Vehicles: Electric delivery vans, trucks, and buses are becoming increasingly common, and Valante is powering many of them. The long lifespan and reliability of the packs make them ideal for demanding commercial use. Industrial Equipment: From forklifts and scissor lifts to mining equipment and construction machinery, Valante is helping companies electrify their fleets and reduce emissions. The rugged design and high power output are key benefits. Marine Applications: Electric boats, ferries, and other marine vessels are gaining popularity, and Valante is providing the power to make it happen. The sealed design and water resistance are critical for marine environments. Recreational Vehicles: Electric ATVs, golf carts, and other recreational vehicles are benefiting from Valante’s lightweight and high-performance battery packs. Energy Storage Systems: Valante packs can also be used for stationary energy storage applications, such as backup power and peak shaving. “We’re seeing interest from a really wide range of companies,” says the Proterra Powered spokesperson. “They’re realizing that electrification isn’t just a trend; it’s the future. And Valante is making it easier and more affordable to get there.” What’s Next for Proterra Powered and Valante? Proterra Powered isn’t stopping here. We’re constantly innovating and developing new battery technologies. We’re investing heavily in research and development to improve energy density, reduce costs, and extend battery lifespan. We’re also expanding our manufacturing capacity to meet the growing demand for Valante. “We’re committed to being a leader in the battery technology space,” says the Proterra Powered spokesperson. “We believe that batteries are the key to a sustainable future, and we’re excited to be part of that transformation.” Getting in Touch Interested in learning more about the Valante family and how it can power your application?
