Vantex New low maintenance battery range data

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Vantex low maintenance Ni-Cd batteries are engineered for demanding environments such as offshore oil and gas, utilities, and remote locations where maintenance is challenging and expensive. These batteries are known for their reliable performance, longevity, and minimal upkeep, especially in high-temperature settings.
Vantex Range
The Vantex series includes Ni-Cd batteries with capacities ranging from 8 Ah to 1700 Ah, available in two types: L RANGE for low discharge durations (3-100 hours) and M RANGE for mixed loads (30 minutes to 3 hours).
Performance and Endurance
Vantex batteries surpass IEC 62259 endurance tests by over four times, maintaining reliability at temperatures up to +40°C (+104°F) and in extreme conditions from -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F). They have a service life expectancy of over 12 years at +40°C and over 20 years at +20°C.
Charging and Maintenance
These batteries support single or two-level charging methods, with a single level charge at 1.43 ± 0.01 V/cell. They require only one top-up during their service life due to efficient gas recombination exceeding 90%.
Quality Standards
Vantex batteries are manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, complying with IEC 62259 and EN 50272-2 safety requirements. They include features like insulated cable connectors to prevent electric shocks.
Environmental Responsibility
Alcad is committed to environmental care throughout the lifecycle of Vantex batteries, from design to recycling. The batteries are recyclable, and Alcad partners with global agencies for battery collection and recycling.
Physical and Electrical Properties
The document provides detailed tables of physical dimensions, weight, and internal resistance for both L and M range batteries, along with performance metrics after prolonged float charge.
Specifications
Detailed specifications for Vantex C5 battery cells are provided, including performance metrics across various time intervals (from 1 second to 10 hours) at different final voltages (1.10 V/cell and 1.14 V/cell) for cell capacities ranging from 8 Ah to 1330 Ah.
Performance Metrics
Performance is measured in available amperes at a temperature of +20ºC ± 5ºC, with tables showing performance after prolonged float charge of fully charged cells.
Procedures
The document outlines the conditions under which the performance data is applicable, specifically noting the temperature and final voltage conditions.
Contact Information
Contact details for Alcad Limited and its sales offices in Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, Asia, and the USA are provided, including telephone and facsimile numbers.
Additional Notes
The document includes a disclaimer that data is subject to change without notice and becomes contractual only after written confirmation by Alcad.

Long life at high temperatures Vantex shows good endurance with excellent results, with both cell types exceeding by more than 4 times the endurance test of IEC 62259. > The battery performs reliably at temperatures of up to +40C (+104аF), and in extreme conditions to -40C and +70аC (-40F and +158аF). Vantex has a service life expectancy of 12 plus years at +40C (+104аF) and of 20 plus years at +20C (+68аF). It can never suffer from sudden deathђ owing to the total reliability of Ni-Cd electrochemistry.Additionally, M type cells achievemore than In off-shore oil and gas applications, utilities,...

Only one top-up during life The Vantex design enables highly efficient gas recombination of more than 90% far beyond therequirements of IEC 62259 ֖ allowing very low gas emissions and water consumption. As a result, Vantex may require only one topping-up operation during its entire service life. Easy to handle The optimised design of Vantex includes several features to make transportation, installation and operation fast and easy.Up to six cells are configured in series and assembled in blocks to enable easy handling. As Vantex cells are always factory-filled with electrolyte, rapid installation...
