Battery Systems for Telecom Networks - SAFT - #4

Saft's mature, proven, alkaline Ni-Cd technology is already mass-deployed in batteries for telecom networks, demonstrating exceptional reliability, even at high temperatures. Ni-Cd has an impressive track record guarding telecom access and cellular networks, ensuring a high Quality of Service.

Ni-Cd continues faithfully to operate in unpredictable environmental patterns, in

remote locations and harsh conditions. Limitations of conventional lead acid batteries - inefficiency and high operating costs in extreme temperatures, risk of sudden death, regular maintenance and replacement - make them less suitable and less able to meet new demands of an evolving market. Saft's pocket plate and sintered/pbe technologies:

• are intrinsically reliable

• require very low maintenance

• tolerate wide temperature fluctuations

• resist physical and electrical abuse

• cannot corrode

• demonstrate excellent cycling capability

c

• are modular, ideal in retrofit ₊25°ca77°f

Ultima.plus endows robust pocket plate technology with special features that minimise water use to give extended life, ultra-low

maintenance and total reliability.

This battery is an excellent choice

for safer, longer-lasting power back­up in, for example, telecom central offices, microwave repeaters, point-to-point and point-to-multiple-point

terminals, offering:

• easy installation

• excellent robustness

• long life in extreme temperatures

• very low life cycle cost

Solar power is the solution of

choice for off-grid telecom sites demanding high system reliability with low maintenance and reduced running costs.

Sunica.plus is built robustly with

special features specifically to satisfy the demands of photovoltaic

and wind energy electrical storage

applications. This design is tailored for deployment in outdoor telecom installations sited in harsh environments and suffering widely fluctuating temperatures between

extremes of -50°C to 70°C (-58°F to +158°F). Sunica.plus will provide:

The combination of sintered/pbe,

flooded electrolyte and corrosion-

free technology gives NCX the edge over conventional VRLA, particularly

in extreme conditions. NCX is resilient and compact, allowing

hundreds of Ah per valuable square

metre in outdoor cabinets, huts,

shelters, CEVs, indoor racks and

central offices - a solution for the particular constraints of roof-top installations. NCX offers:

• direct retrofit with VRLA

• field-proven reliability

• long life in extreme temperatures

• very low maintenance with Water Filling System

high cycling capability

• a resistance to erratic charging conditions

• use in

temperature fluctuations

absolute reliability with low maintenance
