Sintered / PBE - XHP high performance Range Data

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document discusses XHP low maintenance, high-performance Ni-Cd batteries, highlighting their reliability, long lifespan, and suitability for critical applications such as UPS, engine starting, and emergency backup.

Specifications: XHP batteries feature a steel superstructure and polypropylene casing, with sintered and plastic-bonded electrodes in an alkaline electrolyte. They have a lifespan exceeding 20 years with minimal maintenance, requiring topping-up every 10 years after single rate charging.

Performance and Reliability: These batteries operate in extreme temperatures from -50°C to +70°C and can be stored long-term without performance loss. They resist electrical abuses like AC ripple, over-discharging, and high overcharge currents.

Applications: Suitable for onshore and offshore uses, including hospitals, traffic control, power generation, and hazardous marine installations. Ideal for UPS systems due to their high power delivery within a narrow voltage window.

Charging and Maintenance: XHP batteries support taper, constant current, constant voltage, and pulse charging methods. They function well in any charge state, with specific voltage requirements for maintenance and boost charging.

Battery Sizing and Customization: BattSize software is available for easy calculation and customization of battery specifications to meet installation criteria, offering a range of sizes, weights, and performances.

Standards and Environmental Responsibility: Compliant with major electrical industry standards, including IEC 60623, and approved for ship and offshore use. Alcad provides recycling services for old batteries to support environmental sustainability.

Technical Data: Includes detailed tables with specifications for various XHP battery types, covering capacity, dimensions, weight, and performance metrics across different discharge rates and conditions.

Performance Specifications: Details the performance of fully charged cells under constant current charge per IEC 60623, specifying available amperes at +20˚C ± 5˚C with final voltages of 0.65 V/cell and 0.85 V/cell.
