Usage & Maintenance Guide

· Storage: Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry environment. For every 6 months of storage at 25°C, a recharge is required.

· First Use: Always fully charge the battery before first use to ensure it delivers its full rated capacity.

· Charging Voltage: Float Use: 13.5V~13.8V (for 12V models) / 2.25V~2.30V (for 2V models) @ 25°C； Cycle Use: 14.2V~14.4V (for 12V models) / 2.37V~2.40V (for 2V models) @ 25°C

· Temperature Compensation: Apply a compensation of -3mV/°C/Cell for float charging and -4mV/°C/Cell for cycle use.

Features

· Advanced GEL Technology: Uses a thixotropic gel electrolyte that prevents stratification and ensures uniform capacity across the battery, offering high reliability and performance.

· Robust Tubular Plate Design: The positive plate utilizes die-casting grids and a patented active material formula, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and ensuring a long operational lifespan.

· Exceptional Lifespan: Designed for a 20-year floating charge design life at 25°C (77°F), surpassing standard DIN values. It also offers superior cycle life, with thousands of cycles available at various depths of discharge (DOD).

· Wide Operating Temperature: Capable of operating in a broad temperature range: Discharge (-40°C~60°C), Charge (-20°C~50°C), making it ideal for diverse climates.

· Low Self-Discharge: The high-quality gel and plate design ensure a very low monthly self-discharge rate of less than 2% at 20°C, allowing for longer storage periods.

· Deep Discharge Recovery: Excellent recovery capability even after a deep discharge, ensuring system reliability.

· Maintenance-Free: No water topping-up is required throughout the service life, reducing maintenance costs.

· Safety Certified: Manufactured in ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 certified facilities. Container material is standard ABS (UL94-HB), with a UL94-V0 option available.

Applications

· Renewable Energy Systems: Solar and wind power storage.

· Telecommunications: Base stations, data centers, and backup power for BTS.

· Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): Critical backup for IT, medical, and industrial equipment.

· Utility & Power Plants: Switchgear, control systems, and emergency backup.

· Cyclic Use Applications: Electric vehicles (e.g., forklifts, sweepers) and other frequent deep-cycle scenarios.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

· Longest Lifespan: The 20-year float design life and superior cycle life (especially at 30-50% DOD) offer the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) over the product's lifetime.

· Extreme Performance: Specifically designed for cyclic use under the most extreme operating conditions, outperforming standard AGM and other gel batteries.

· Unmatched Reliability: The combination of tubular plate and gel technology provides an exceptionally robust and fail-safe power solution for mission-critical applications.

· High Power Density: Capable of high discharge currents (up to 4500A for the 1500Ah model) for short durations, ensuring reliable startup of heavy loads.
