Batteries for single-phase uninterruptible ps
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.
The PC1700/65's AGM (absorbed glass mat) technology offers deep cycle capabilities of 400 charge/discharge cycles to 80 percent depth of discharge, while providing serious cranking power.
In fact, its five-second cranking power (in excess of 1700 A) is double or sometimes even triple that of its competition, even in temperatures as low as -40*C (-40*F).
As part of the Odyssey line, the PC1700/65 has many advantages over comparable conventional batteries.

SBS battery with more power in the same footprint
EnerSys newest thin-plate pure lead VRLA battery in its PowerSafe SBS line.
The new battery has an 8- to 12-year design life and a service life of 3 to 10 years, which will require less frequent battery replacement than conventional batteries that have a 5-year design life and a 1- to 5-year service life.
In addition, the battery slowly loses power at the end of its life, rather than traditional catastrophic failure, which may leave the user stranded.
The PC1700/65's rugged construction gives it superior vibration resistance and when completely charged, it can be stored for up to 2 years without recharging, compared to traditional battery storage life of 6 to 12 weeks.
The battery can be installed in any orientation (except inverted) without sacrificing any performance attributes, and the US Department of Transportation has certified it as non-hazardous and non-spillable for safe shipping.
Specifications for the 12-volt Odyssey PC1700/65 include 5-second pulse hot cranking amps (PHCA) of 1700 A, cold cranking amps (CCA) of 875 A, cranking amps (CA/MCA) of 1175 A, and hot cranking amps (HCA) of 1325 A.
The battery weighs 60.0 lbs.
(27.2 kg), and measures 11.92" L x 7.17" W x 7.58" H (302.8 mm x 182.1 mm x 192.5 mm).
The battery features M6 bolt or SS 5/16" stud or SAE 3/8" receptacle terminals, and has a reserve capacity of 142 minutes.
A 2-year and 4-year limited warranty is included for powersports applications and automotive/commercial/industrial applications, respectively.
Pricing for a new Odyssey PC1700/65 is $306.67 MSRP.
The battery is in stock and available from Odyssey distributors, a list of which can be found on the website.
