The PowerSafe V Front Terminal range of valve regulated lead acid batteries has been designed specifically for use in applications which demand the highest levels of security and reliability. With proven compliance to the most rigorous international standards, PowerSafe V is recognised worldwide as a premium battery for Telecom applications. PowerSafe V’s reputation for long service life, together with excellent high rate performance, also makes it ideal for high integrity, high specification UPS systems.
PowerSafe V delivers superior performance while occupying less space than conventional standby power batteries. The PowerSafe V Front Terminal monobloc's compact design, suitable for 19", 23" and ETSI racking, provides users with the benefit of increased energy density. With all electrical connections at the front, installation and inspection are both quicker and easier.
PowerSafe V batteries are designed using proven gas recombination technology which removes the need for regular water addition by controlling the evolution of hydrogen and oxygen during charging. Oxygen evolved at the positive plates diffuses through microporous separators to the negative plates, and, by a series of chemical reactions within the cell, recombines to form water. Each cell incorporates its own safety valve that allows the controlled release of gas when pressure builds up within the cell.
The use of gas recombination technology for lead acid batteries has totally changed the concept of standby power. This technology provides the user with the freedom to use lead acid batteries in a wide range of applications.
Features & Benefits
- Positive and negative plates in lead-tin — calcium for all types of 105Ah or more. All others in lead-tin alloy
- Separators in low resistance microporous glass fibre. The electrolyte is absorbed within this material, preventing acid spills in case of accidental damage
- Case and lid in flame retardant ABS material, highly resistant to shocks and vibrations
- Terminal with brass insert for maximum conductivity and with high compression grommet for long life
- Self-regulating pressure relief valve prevents ingress of atmospheric oxygen
