Relay GelT Product for Network Power Applications

Exide Technologies now offers the Relay Gel®, the company's newest line of stationary batteries for network power applications, sold by Exide's GNB Industrial Power Business. Relay Gel, engineered by GNB for high temperature applications in broadband, CATV, solar and other demanding outside plant environments, was inspired by the Exide® Sonnenschein®, a battery line incorporating one of the most successful gel technologies on the market today. The gel technology provides greater heat dissipation capabilities compared to AGM technology to prolong battery life in high temperature applications. The valve-regulated Relay Gel is available in capacities ranging from 27 to 91Ah (at the 8 hour rate to 1.75VPC and 25°C) and is produced in five BCI sizes including U1, 22NF, 24, 27 and 30H/31. The battery line also is available in four terminal types: threaded (M6) copper alloy, flag, marine and SAE. Thick, high-tin, low-calcium silver positive plates resist corrosion; a reinforced polypropylene case and cover reduce battery wall deflection; and a second-generation helium leak detection system helps to ensure the integrity of post and jar-to-cover seals. All of these features help increase product life in the field under normal operating conditions. With its gelled electrolyte, the battery also is approved as non-spillable per regulations set forth by DOT, IMDG, IATA, and ICAO. For more information, visit www.exideworld.com.
