Vantex New Generation

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Vantex New Generation batteries by Alcad are designed for stationary applications, offering maintenance-free operation and long service life. They are ideal for power backup, engine starting, and bulk energy storage, providing reliability and high performance in challenging environments.
Specifications
The batteries utilize advanced Ni-Cd pocket plate technology, ensuring a service life of over 20 years at +25°C (+77°F). They maintain performance even at higher temperatures, with only a 20% reduction in lifespan at +35°C (+95°F), compared to a 50% reduction for lead-acid batteries.
Design and Features
These maintenance-free batteries require no water addition throughout their lifespan when operated under recommended conditions (-20°C to +40°C). They feature a low-pressure flame-arresting vent and high gas recombination efficiency, reducing water use and emissions.
Performance and Efficiency
Vantex batteries offer enhanced electrical performance, allowing for smaller capacity batteries and reduced primary purchase costs. They support quick and simple charging, with more than 90% capacity available after a 15-hour charge at 1.42 V/cell.
Applications
These batteries are essential for power backup systems in industries such as oil and gas, utilities, and manufacturing. They support systems like UPS, substation switchgear, process control systems, emergency lighting, fire alarms, and security systems.
Construction and Configuration
The modular design allows for versatile block configurations, with up to ten cells in a single block. The batteries are delivered filled with electrolyte and ready charged, with a storage period of up to two years.
Standards and Certifications
Vantex batteries comply with international standards such as IEC 62259 and IEC 60623 for safety and performance. They are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, fully recyclable, and adhere to RoHS and REACH regulations.
Specifications Details
The document provides detailed specifications for the VTX1M battery series, including capacity (C5 Ah), dimensions, weight, internal resistance, and cell connection bolt per pole. Capacities range from 40 Ah to 1330 Ah, with dimensions and weight provided in both metric and imperial units.
Procedures and Standards
The document outlines Alcad's commitment to recycling and environmental responsibility, emphasizing the use of recycled materials and reduction of emissions. Alcad provides recycling solutions for depleted batteries through a network of collection companies compliant with the EU batteries directive.
Recommendations
Customers are encouraged to contact Alcad sales representatives for more information on recycling solutions. Contact information for Alcad offices in various regions is provided.
Key Data from Tables
The tables provide maximum values for block length and weight, determined by the number of cells in the block. Internal resistance includes a rigid connector, and all tabulated dimensions are maximum values.
Environmental Commitment
Alcad is dedicated to preserving the planet by using recycled materials, cutting emissions, minimizing water consumption, and reducing fossil fuel usage. The company has established a network for battery recycling in compliance with international laws.
