SBS Battery Offers More Power

EnerSys has a new thin-plate pure lead VRLA battery in its PowerSafe SBS line. The new SBS70F is 10% more powerful than conventional VRLA batteries in the same footprint, allowing users to provide additional capacity in existing cabinets and design new cabinets with smaller battery compartments and/or increased battery capacity.

The SBS170F’s front terminal design makes it easy to install and maintain. Pure-lead technology makes it more resistant to corrosion than lead-calcium batteries to provide three times the shelf life of a traditional lead-acid battery and increase power density, while maintaining a greater than 10-year design life.

The 12V SBS170F has a nominal capacity of 170Ah at both the eight- and ten-hour rates. Its operating ranges from -40C to 50C (-40F to 122F), its dimensions are 22.1" L x 4.9" W x 11.1" H (561mm x 125mm x 283mm), and it weighs 115.7 lbs. (52.5 kg). Its terminal fasteners are M6 M. The battery can also be configured as a SBS170 top terminal model with M8 F terminal fasteners.
