Saft has developed the SBLE, SBM and SBH ranges of block batteries to offer the optimum, flexible solution for all stationary applications. The choice of low rate discharge, medium and high performance types makes it easy to select the ideal battery, based on the required discharge time and end of discharge voltage. Thanks to the robust and reliable Saft Nife® pocket pocket plate technology they resist electrical abuse, shock and vibrations. Furthermore, a generous reserve of electrolyte means that the block batteries need only basic maintenance, while operating across a wide range of fluctuating...

Saft Ni-Cd technology - the proven advantages of a safe and robust design • Performance optimized for each application according to plate thickness. > LE type - Thicker plates - High energy - Low cost per Amp at low rates > M type - Thinner plates - Medium power - Optimised between H and L design for mixed loads > H type - Thinnest plate - High power - Low cost per Amp at high rates Specify the ideal battery for every application • Optimized design boosts electrical performance by up to 10% depending on discharge time. • Delivers performance, reliability and a long, totally predictable, service...

Block battery construction - essential features • The steel pocket plate structure does not suffer from « sudden death » or internal corrosion since there is no interaction between the active material and the electrolyte. • Tough polypropylene casing ensures structural integrity throughout a long life. • An engineered electrolyte solution delivers optimum performance without causing degradation of plate materials. • Plenty of space is allowed for a good reserve of electrolyte. • A special electrolyte is available for extremely low temperature applications. • A specially designed flame arresting...

Setting the benchmark for industrial batteries • Topping-up intervals are now up to two times longer under standard conditions at + 20°C (+ 68°F) and at float voltage. • A simple annual maintenance exercise is recommended to check correct functioning of the charging system, battery and the auxiliary electronics. • Easy maintenance thanks to: - Visible electrolyte level - Simple bolted connector for fast installation and allowing the battery to be quickly commissioned Low maintenance means lower lifetime costs Topping-up interval (year) Typical topping up intervals at recommended charge voltage...

Standard layouts Saft has developed a series of standard layouts for ordering a battery. Whether the battery is being installed on a rack, in a cabinet or is simply freestanding, the same configuration principals can be applied. The cell is turned through 90° and then connected width-to-width. This is referred to as "crosswise" mounted and its purpose is to minimize the installation's over-all length. The cell's width is used to calculate the row length. Ni-Cd Block battery range - Proven back-up performance and reliability for industrial applications

The dimensions of all available cell types are listed in the tables. The block length is determined by the cell length and the number of cells in the block. Notes: • All the tabulated dimensions are maximum values. • All block types with a cell weight exceeding 8.4 kg (18.5 lbs) have handles. The tabulated block length includes 6 mm for handles for these types. • All the cell heights given in the tables include the height of the IP2X terminal cover. Blocks of cells with single pole bolt Blocks of cells with 2 poles bolt per poles Blocks of cells with 2 - 6 poles bolt per poles Ni-Cd Block battery...
