PowerSafe V-FT Battery Range User Manual

PowerSafe V-FT Battery Range User

Battery Range Summary

The PowerSafe® V Front Terminal range of valve-regulated lead acid batteries has been designed specifically for use in applications that demand the highest levels of security and reliability. With compliance with the most rigorous international standards, PowerSafe V-FT batteries are recognized worldwide as a premium solution for Telecom applications. The reputation of PowerSafe V-FT batteries for long service life, together with excellent high rate performance, also makes it ideal for high integrity, high specification UPS systems.

PowerSafe V-FT batteries deliver superior performance while occupying less space than conventional standby power batteries. A range of compact designs, 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-FT batteries benefit from EnerSys’ state-of-the-art Thin Plate Pure Lead manufacturing platform. Monoblocs are designed using 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.

Features and Benefits

• Capacity range: 31Ah – 190Ah
• Front terminal connections for fast and easy installation and maintenance
• Suitable for 19”, 23” and ETSI racking
• UL94 V-0 flame retardant containers and lids
• High energy density
• Fast charge acceptance capability
• High reliability
• Long design life (12+ years at 20°C)

Construction

• The pure lead grid design prolongs the service life and enhances corrosion resistance
• Separators in low resistance microporous glass fiber. The electrolyte is absorbed within this material, preventing acid spills in case of accidental damage
• Containers and lids 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
• A self-regulating pressure relief valve prevents the ingress of atmospheric oxygen
• Flame arrestors built into each bloc for increased operational safety

Installation & Operation

• Designed for operation in the reliable grid, grid assist, and unreliable grid (low risk of partial state of charge)

• Monoblocs are designed for installation in cabinets or on stands, close to the point of use. A separate battery room is not necessary

• It is recommended that PowerSafe®
  V Front Terminal batteries are installed on their base. Please consult your EnerSys representative about any other installation orientation

• Recommended float charge voltage: 2.29Vpc at 20°C 2.27Vpc at 25°C

• 24 months shelf life at 20°C
