Faure-X Cells
Complies with: SABS IEC 60896-1 and BS 6290
Product and Service Benefits
Locally-Manufactured Range
Manufactured by a South African company, proven under South African conditions.
Premier Quality
Conforms to SABS IEC 60896-1, BS 6290 1984 and manufactured to ISO 9001:2000 quality standards.
Nationwide After-Sales Support
Countrywide network of branches and agencies, with access to information to ensure sound technical backup.
Proven Reliability
Some cells were still operating and tested to have full capacity nearly 30 years after their introduction in 1974.
Customer Care
Every Chloride standby cell carries a comprehensive product warranty backed by the industry leader and supported
by a national distributor network.
Design Features
Designed for all standby duties including power stations, telephone exchanges, telecommunications and emergency
lighting .
Noteworthy advantages of these cells are:
a simple hydrometer reading indicates the state of charge, facilitating
inspection, test and maintenance.
float charge operation, always ready for use.
life expectancy of 15 years .
POSITIVE PLATES are constructed of 5mm industrial grids pasted with a long-life paste formulation, suitable for
float charge and cycling applications.
NEGATIVE PLATES are of industrial pasted grid construction, for balanced performance and life.
SEPARATORS made of microporous rubber, for exceptionally long life and have high porosity, ensuring minimum
internal resistance.
TRANSPARENT CONTAINERS, moulded from styrene acrylonitrile(SAN) to provide optimum transparency and very
high insulating qualities, eliminating the need for separate cell insulators
CELL LIDS are moulded from opaque SAN. Permanently sealed to the container.
VENT PLUGS are of a special design, which effectively returns all acid spray to the cell, but allows free exit of
oxygen and hydrogen gases.
CELL PILLARS AND CONNECTORS
Specially designed to give minimum resistance - maximum current flow.
Technical Details
VOLTAGE
The nominal voltage is 2 volts per cell, i.e. a nominal 110V battery has 55 cells. On discharge, the recommended
final voltage at which the discharge should be terminated depends on the discharge rate. For example, discharge
curves indicate that the final voltage for the three hour rate of discharge is 1.8 volts.
It is not recommended to continue discharging the cells once the final voltage has been reached as the voltage
will fall away at an increasing rate with minimal gain of discharge duration.
CAPACITY
The capacity of these cells is normally rated at the 10hour rate of discharge although the capacity which can be
taken from a cell will vary the discharge rate, as indicated in the capacity table. Capacity is also affected by
temperature
SPECIFIC GRAVITY
A simply hydrometer reading indicates the state of charge. A fully charged cell will have a specific gravity of 1.250.
FLOAT CHARGING
As these cells are designed for standby applications they should be float charged to ensure that they remain fully
charged, ready for instant use, at all times. Correct float voltage settings may vary depending upon operational
difference but as a guideline 2.25 volts per cell at 25°C may be used as a level of charge which will minimise the
need for equalising charges whilst providing acceptable life. The installation and maintenance manual should be
read for further information.
RECHARGING
The cell’s ampere hour efficiency is 90%. To fully recharge the cells the amount of charge required is equal to
the amount of discharge in ampere hours plus 11%.
INSTALLATION
These cells can be connected either edge to edge or face to face. The standard method of connection is to follow
the shortest distance between two terminals.
the shortest distance between two terminals.
