Low Profile VRLA Provides Smaller Design

The EnerSys profile, front terminal, valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery provides the same capacity as the previous model, with a 10% reduction in height. Measuring 561mm x 125mm x 283mm (22.1” x 4.9” x 11.1”), the 12V155FS battery is ideal for telecommunication and UPS applications.

The unit is designed for safe operation. The container and cover are made from UL94 V-0 flame retardant ABS material, which is highly resistant to shock and vibration and provides superior mechanical strength. Acid spills are avoided through the battery’s separators encased in low resistance microporous glass fiber, which absorbs the electrolyte in the event of accidental damage to the battery.

The new 12V, 155Ah battery, part of EnerSys’ PowerSafe V range of front terminal VRLA batteries, employs positive and negative plates in a lead-tin-calcium construction. The front terminal connections enable fast and easy installation, inspection, and maintenance, and features brass inserts, for maximum conductivity with a high compression grommet, assuring prolonged product life.

The 12V155FS has a 155Ah capacity at the 8-hour rate to 1.75 Vpc at 25C (77F), a 150Ah capacity at the 10-hour rate to 1.80 Vpc at 20C (68F), and a 10-year design life at 25C (77F). Pricing starts at $346 per unit.
