Original Press Release:
Enersys' New Rugged, High Rate Discharge VRLA Batteries Provide Improved High Temperature Performance and Vibration Resistance
Reading, PA, March 2004 - EnerSys Inc. Reserve Power Group has introduced a new line of high rate discharge batteries ideal for Uninterruptible Power Supply (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 12-volt 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 1.67 V 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 flame retardant (UL94-V0/L.O.I. > 28%) or non-flame retardant material. The HX series also meets critical industry standards including UL, IATA certification for air transport, and US DOT classification for non-spillable batteries.
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. Delivery is 1 week ARO. Additional information is available online at www.enersysreservepower.com or by contacting an EnerSys distributor (www.enersysreservepower.com/sales.asp).
