EnerSys has extended its DataSafe HX line to include smaller-sized batteries ideal to meet the requirements of single-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
Rugged Varta "R" series batteries have a proven long service life of 20 years in stationary operations, along with a long storage life.
The batteries operate over a wide temperature of -40*C to +50*C (-40*F to +122*F), and are especially effective at low temperatures and deep discharge applications as compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.
EnerSys' Varta NiCd batteries are housed in translucent plastic cases to make their electrolyte levels visible for easy maintenance, and feature a large electrolyte reserve to increase the time between maintenance intervals.
The Varta RL line is specifically designed for low rates of discharge over long periods of time, which makes them ideal for use in emergency lighting, rail signal and communication, telecommunications, photovoltaic, marine and alarm system applications.
With a capacity range of 11 Ah to 1500 Ah, the RL line covers backup times of one hour to more than 100 hours.
The Varta RM line is designed for applications such as rail car lighting, telecommunications, UPS, electric utility switchgear and marine, where a mix of high and low rates of discharge is likely.
The RM line features a capacity range of 11 Ah to 1250 Ah and covers backup times of 30 minutes to three hours.
The Varta RH line is designed for high rates of discharge over short periods of time.
The Varta RH has a capacity range of 10 Ah to 800 Ah and covers backup times of one second to 30 minutes.
Applications where use of the RH line is ideal include diesel start, UPS and marine.
The new NiCd batteries conform to Europe IEC60623 standards.
Select sizes of Varta NiCd batteries will be stocked in Sumter, SC.
Pricing for The Varta R Series starts at $40 for the RL-11 model.
