EnerSys High Rate Discharge VRLA Batteries
EnerSys has a new line of high rate discharge batteries (pictured on page
1) ideal for uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
and other applications that require maximized
space utilization combined with high energy density.
The cases and covers of the new DataSafe HX line
of valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries
use a polypropylene compound that improves high
temperature performance and increases vibration
resistance.
The new DataSafe HX 12V product family offers
better performance in high temperature applications,
such as cable TV, due to the container’s
lower deflection rate, which prevents the housing
from expanding during high temperature operation,
allowing the battery to maintain internal plate
compression for increased battery life.
The polypropylene compound used for the DataSafe
HX provides more resistance to vibration, making
the batteries more tolerable to harsh shipping
environments. This is an especially important
consideration for UPS applications where batteries
are typically shipped with the UPS system in pre-installed
cabinets.
The DataSafe HX, which includes five models ranging
from 204 watts/cell to 506 watts/cell (15 minute
rate to 1.67V end voltage), is compatible with
other similar products, making the HX batteries
ideal for both new and replacement applications.
The batteries feature high conductivity recessed
brass terminals; high integrity, long life terminal
seals; corrosion resistant lead-calcium-tin alloy
positive and negative grids for efficient recharge
and long life; and are available in standard or
flame retardant (UL94-V0/L.O.I. > 28%) material.
The HX series meets critical industry standards
including UL, IATA certification for air transport,
and US DOT non-spillable batteries requirements.
Nominal ratings for the five 12-volt models in
the new DataSafe HX series, at the 15 minute rate
to 1.67 V end voltage, are HX205: 204 watts/cell;
HX300: 284 watts/cell; HX330: 336 watts/cell;
HX400: 381 watts/cell; and HX500: 506 watts/cell.
Pricing for a new HX205 DataSafe battery starts
at $89. Visit www.enersysreservepower.com.
