Customer ServiceIf the light on battery box is red and the lift does not go up or down: The battery level is critically low. Use the emergency lowering button on the battery box. Recharge the battery. If the battery indicator light is green when inserted but then blinks out when the up/down switch is pressed: The battery is not holding a charge. Replace battery.
Customer ServiceBattery systems were retrofitted onto the roofs of the system''s 21 Urbos trams. This solution allows the batteries to be charged on electrified sections of the network, letting the trams operate without the need for fixed overhead lines over several kilometres of new routes through the city centre.

[4] A trolley (streetcar) line ran across the bridge when it opened, stopping in the middle of the bridge at an elevator
Customer ServiceUnder the trial, battery packs were fitted on an existing Hitachi-built Sirio tram, which travelled some distance under battery power. The battery tram was tested between Alamanni and Fortezza in Florence in revenue service on T1 and T2 lines, which is operated by Gestione Servizio tramviario (GEST), a subsidiary of the French RATP.

Customer ServiceBattery trams offer the opportunity to run high capacity public transport through city centres, while saving millions on installing wires and reducing the visual impact on beautiful historic streets, like Florence.
The new technology is based on an onboard energy storage system (OBESS), with scalable battery capacity. It can be installed directly on the roof of existing trams - saving on costs, and visual impact – all while ensuring better environmental performance for a more sustainable society. In Florence, battery powered trams have been tested since 2021.
In Florence, battery powered trams have been tested since 2021. Fitted to trams on the existing Sirio fleet, the battery technology enables the trams to operate on a section of the line entirely under battery power, without the use of overhead infrastructure.
For reliable service, a tram should be built for 30-40 years. Saft sized the batteries to provide a lifetime of at least seven years, matching CAF’s maintenance intervals.
