Patco Electronics

- I-Patco Electronics yasungulwa ekupheleni kuka-1992, ngenjongo yokubonelela nge-electronics industry kunye nezobugcisa bezixhobo zebhetri zobugcisa ezibandakanya iikhemistri eziqeshwe kwiibhetri zesekondari. Imveliso yokuqala yayiyimenenja yebhetri yeetribhethi ze-asidi eziphambili ezenziwe ngaphantsi kwe-Unitrode 3906 i-control lead acid. Ukususela apho uPatco uye wandise umgca we-asidi ye-lead ukubandakanya abaphathi abaphezulu abaphezulu beebhetri ezinkulu, kunye neendlela zokulungelelanisa ukwakhiwa okhethekileyo kweebhetri ze-acid. Abaphathi beNiCAD kunye neNiMH ezenzelwe abalawuli abazodwa zilandelayo. Inqanaba lesithathu lomkhiqizo lijongene neebhetri zeLithium Ion eziphambili ezenziwe yiSaft America.
I-Patco iye yavelisa iteknoloji entsha kwizinto zokulawula ibhetri. Ukushisa kukutshaba kwikhompyutha, ukuphazamisa kokubili ixesha lokuphila kwamagumbi kagesi aqeshwe kumphathi webhetri ngokwawo, kwaye ukuvakalelwa kweqondo lokushisa kwibhetri kulawulwa. Ngokusebenzisa indlela yokulawula, i-Group yezobunjineli bePatco iye yavelisa ubuchule bokuncedisa ulwazi lokulawula ukubuyisela ulwazi oluvela kwi-battery management chip ukulawula isiphaluka sokuqala esenza umbane ophantsi webhetri. Le ndlela iphelisa ubuninzi beentsholongwane eziza kuthethwa ngeendlela eziqhelekileyo.
Ngomhla ka-1996, uPatco Electronics uhlala kwindawo yakhe yeenyawo ezili-10 000, ehlala kwiihektare ezi-5 kwi-Spaceport Centre Industrial Park, ngaphandle kweKennedy Space Centre.
